Dai Llwyd

Dai Llwyd, literally translated from Welsh as "Big Grey," is a relatively common Welsh surname. It is descriptive in nature, possibly referring to a physical characteristic (large stature and grey hair) of an ancestor, or perhaps relating to the color of a dwelling or land. The name is formed from "dai," a mutated form of "tai" (houses) or an archaic form of "du" (black, dark), and "llwyd," meaning grey or brown-grey. The surname can be found primarily in Wales, with some diaspora communities elsewhere. The precise origins and early bearers of the name are difficult to trace due to limited historical records.
