Hywell
hywe-ll
Origin:Welsh
Meaning:Eminent, prominent
When choosing the masculine name Hywell for your little one, you should know, they're going to take it far in the years to come. A respelling of Hywel with an extra l, Hywell is a refreshing twist on a moniker borne by several Welsh rulers. One of those rulers, Hywel the Good, was responsible for establishing the first Welsh laws. It's up to your Hywell to decide where they'll make themselves known, but we're guessing it will be for something wonderful! With their name translating to "eminent" or "prominent" in Welsh, it seems that sweet Hywell is "well" on their way to success.
