ArchivesRe: Lleucu
in reply to a message by Musaraigne
There's a 13th-century poem containing the name Lleucu, (Marwnad Lleucu Llwyd) so nope, not a recent invention.
Lleucu isn't used as a form of Lucy; it sounds nothing like it, it's a name in its own right, and is used as such.
And a modern Welsh spelling of Lucy is Liwsi, as used by someone I know on her daughter fairly recently.
(I'm Welsh.)

Thank you so much, Pie, for the info! It's fascinating to hear that it IS an indigenous name. Do you have a theory as to the name's etymology?
