| Name Meaning: |
Ancient name of uncertain etymology, some think it is derived from the Old Celtic Lugobelinos (the bright one, the shining one). Others think it might be from Llewel (lion-like), which is derived from llew (lion). Another suggestion is that it is ultimately derived from the Latin Lucius, which is from the root lux (light). The name was borne by Prince Llewelyn the Great of Wales (1173-1240) and by his grandson, the last native prince of Wales, Llewelyn ap Gruffyd, who died in 1282 at Piercefield. |
