Never seen it in Wales
And I've been living here and studying names for four years now. ANd it's not in my Welsh dictionary either...I suspect somebody made it up as a combination of Rhyl (a place name, not a word, probably meaning 'the hill') and Phyllis (a Greek name, I believe). I'd ignore the meaning you were given, unless the person giving it has twenty years experience in Celtic Philology, and even then, if they're not Welsh themselves, I'd still ignore it. ;)
