Sorry, meant to add that 'Llew' means lion and may mean 'lion like, mighty ruler'.

Llewelyn is 100% male afaik. Personally, I'd hate to see it on a girl.

Hi, I live in Wales from where the name Llywelyn comes.
It can be anglicised to Llewellyn.
It is pronounced 'Clue ell in'. In Welsh the double L is pronounced 'Cl' and the W is an Ooh sound.
In 'English' is is said with the 'L' sound, and pronounced Loo ell in.
Hope this helps
