Those looking for a striking boy's name with Welsh roots will fall hard for Llewelyn, meaning "like a lion" and "leader's image." This bold and noble namesake is shared with two 13th-century princes of Wales known as Llewelyn the Great and Llywelyn the Last. Both played a vital role in the quest for Welsh independence. You may also recognize the name from the movie _No Country for Old Me_n, adapted from Cormac McCarthy's novel. Although Llewelyn Moss, brought to life by actor Josh Brolin, is a bit of an anti-hero, your little lion will have their own compelling story to tell.
