    The Story Behind Enlli

    Enlli is a rare Welsh name with a clear geographical origin. It is derived directly from the Welsh name for Bardsey Island, Ynys Enlli, which means 'the island of the current' or 'the island of the tide'. The island has a rich history, known as a place of pilgrimage and a burial site for saints, earning it the nickname 'the island of 20,000 saints'.

    The name Enlli itself is a modern usage as a given name, directly inspired by the island. Its adoption as a personal name reflects a trend in Wales of using place names, particularly those with historical or natural significance, for children. It carries connotations of the island's serene beauty, spiritual history, and wild, untamed nature.
