Meanings

A male given name: associated, by folk etymology, with Welsh llew lion or llyw leader.

Llywelyn (Welsh pronunciation: [ɬəˈwɛlɪn]) is a Welsh personal name, which has also become a family name most commonly spelt Llewellyn. The name has many variations and derivations, mainly as a result of the difficulty for non-Welsh speakers of representing the sound of the initial double ll (a voiceless alveolar lateral fricative).
The name Lewis became closely associated with Llywelyn as early as the 13th century, when Anglo-Norman scribes often used the former as an anglicised version of the latter; many Welsh families came to do the same over the following centuries as the adoption of formal English-style surnames became more widespread.

Variant of llywelyn, from llew: lion.
