The remainder of the county was constituted as a principal area, with the name <i>Caernarfonshire and Merionethshire</i>, as it covers most of the areas of those two historic counties. As one of its first actions, the Council renamed itself <i>Gwynedd</i> on 2 April 1996.

In one proposal for local government reform in Wales, Gwynedd had been proposed as a name for a local authority covering all of north Wales, but the scheme as enacted divided this area between Gwynedd and Clwyd.
