Morphology

Galwegian = Galloway (transparent) = Galloway + ian

Formed from the place-name 'Galloway' with a standard demonymic suffix, so the meaning 'of or relating to Galloway' follows directly.

Etymology

Galwegian comes from the place name Galloway plus the ending -ian, which means 'from' or 'belonging to', like in Canadian or Bostonian. So Galwegian simply means 'from Galloway' or 'of its people'.
