Morphology: cefn+y+pant though originally only “pant”
Phonetic: kev-n-uh-pant
Situated above Newbridge, "cefn" in this context is a word meaning the ridge or crest of a mountain and "pant" is a hollow or valley. The village is situated on a ridge overlooking Newbridge and the Ebbw River valley below. The English version is a rare mix of the two languages in a place name and both modern versions used locally have seemingly developed from the original name of Pant, shown on OS maps as recently as their 1 inch map in 1953 and the 6 inch map in 1966.
