Gryfith Origin and Meaning

The name Gryfith is a boy's name.

Gryfith is a masculine name of Welsh origin, being a variant spelling of Griffith. The name derives from the Welsh 'Gruffudd,' which combines elements meaning 'strong lord' or 'strong peace.' Historically significant in Welsh culture, the name was borne by several Welsh princes and leaders. This alternative spelling with 'y' instead of 'i' gives the name a more distinctive appearance while maintaining its traditional pronunciation. While less common than Griffin or the more standard Griffith, Gryfith carries the same connotations of strength and leadership. The name offers a connection to Celtic heritage while maintaining a recognizable quality in English-speaking regions.
