Llŷr

Llŷr is a name deeply rooted in Welsh mythology and ancient Celtic tradition. It is most famously associated with Llŷr Llediaith, a figure in the Mabinogion, a collection of medieval Welsh tales. He is often equated with the Irish sea god Lir, suggesting a shared Celtic mythological heritage. The name itself is believed to derive from a Proto-Celtic word meaning 'sea' or 'ocean'.

While not widely used outside of Wales, Llŷr holds significant cultural importance within the country. Its connection to the sea god imbues it with a sense of ancient power and mystery. The name has seen sporadic use throughout Welsh history, maintaining its traditional appeal.
