Ynyr Origin and Meaning

The name Ynyr is a boy's name of Welsh origin meaning "honorable".

Ynyr is still quietly used in Wales, though the alternative modern form of ancient Roman Honorius is the simple Honor. The name is used in the 1983 sci-fi movie, Krull, which follows the adventures of a Prince and companions as the attempt to rescue a princess; Ynyr is the film's narrator and a wise man.

More historically, Ynyr Gwent was a 5th-century monarch of an ancient British kingdom.
