As I understand it "yw" and "ydy" are pretty well interchangeable - tend to use "yw" but I'm a tutor/learner in South Wales!
That looks like "What is your mother-name?" to me.
I'm not sure what a mother-name is -- perhaps when you are from a culture where women receive a new name when they bear their first child, and you are asking a women for this new "mother-name"?
The "your" in Duo's sentence goes with "your mother", not "your name", so enw eich mam for "name (of) your mother" rather than "your name-of-mother".
