ArchivesMeaning of my grandson name "Coelbren"
All my daughter in law knows that it was a name of a king in 1600's
Midevel Times. He was a good King that loved his people and treated them with respect. She thinks Celtic background.

Coelbren is a village on the edge of the south wales (u.k.) coalfield.
The original meaning of the name is apparently lost in welsh history. Some say it comes from an ancient game played in the "Mabinogion" where lots or sticks are cast
I've been trying to get more info myself but unfortunatley not much joy.
There is of course the "Coelbren" alphabet

It is a Welsh word...
Your daughter may have been thinking of Old King Cole, a nursery rhyme character.
Coelbren would be properly pronounced coylbren in Welsh, not cole-bren.

I can find no references to a "King Coelbren". However "Coelbren y Beirdd" is a welsh alphabet style of disputed antiquity. See http://www.arthurinamerica.com/archives/alphabet_intro.html
