Yes, Wales existed before England.
According to historical records, Wales predates England. In the early Middle Ages, Wales encompassed a significantly larger territory than it does today. The Welsh term for England, "Lloegr," translates to "the lost lands," a reference to the land lost to the Anglo-Saxons who invaded from regions now known as North Germany and Denmark.
