Llewellyn Family History
Llewellyn Name Meaning
Welsh: from the Welsh personal name Llywelyn (anciently
Lugobelinos), probably derived from the element llyw
‘leader’, although the exact formation is unclear. This was the name
of two princes of North Wales who held the Normans at bay for many
years in the 13th century. Etymologically speaking, the form with a
fourth -l- is an error, not found as an original Welsh name,
but this is now much the most common spelling in the U.S.
