Because the Welsh "noun-noun" construct is automatically definite.
You can translate "A y B" into "the A of the B", adding "the" at the front and "of" between the two. (Or "the B's A", as appropriate, switching the two.)
Thus Môr y Canoldir is not merely "Sea the Middle-Lands" but "The Sea of the Middle-Lands" = "The Mediterranean Sea".
