Origin of The Name
Sketty is an anglicisation of the Welsh Sgeti, which is also recorded in the form Y Sgeti (literally, "the Sketty"). It has been interpreted as a corruption of "Ynys Ceti", "Ceti’s meadow".
In The Place Names of Wales, by Thomas Morgan of Skewen, an alternative explanation is offered: Sketty as an anglicisation of the Welsh Is Maen Keti, meaning "below Keti's stone". Keti's Stone is an old name for the neolithic burial chamber on Cefn Bryn known also as Arthur's Stone.
