The city of Guelph was named in 1827 to honour the British Empire's King George IV, whose family name was Gwelf. The spelling has been changed to today's "Guelph" - but it's pronounced as it was 170 years ago: gwelf (like self). The origin of the city's name also lends itself to being referred as "The Royal City."
