Meaning & History

Medieval Anglicization of LLYWELYN which has been documented from the 13th century onwards. (Cf. LEOLIN.) It was borne by Welsh politician Sir Leoline Jenkins (1625-1685). In Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem 'Christabel' (1797-1801) this name belongs to Christabel's father, Sir Leoline, Baron of Langdale Hall.

Due to similar-looking names like LEONTINE and CAROLINE, it has also been used as a feminine name from at least the mid-1800s onwards.
