Llewelleyn is a rare variant spelling of the Welsh name Llewellyn, which derives from the Welsh elements "llew" meaning "lion" and "gwyn" meaning "white" or "blessed." This distinctive spelling adds an extra 'e', giving it a slightly more elaborate appearance. The name carries historic significance in Welsh culture, as several Welsh princes bore the name Llewellyn during medieval times.
