Meaning:*
This name derives from the Welsh adjective “llwyd,” most often understood as meaning “grey, brown,” but with other meanings as well. The name can be used both as a personal name and as a surname. Llwyd ap Cil Coed is a character in the Third Branch of The Mabinogi, also known as the story of Manawydan ap Llŷr. Llwyd is a friend of Gwawl ap Clud, who had been insulted by Pwyll in the First Branch. Llwyd decides to avenge this insult upon Pryderi son of Pwyll by making barren and empty the kingdom of Dyfed. Later, using an enchanted bowl in a mysterious fortress, he imprisons Pryderi and Rhiannon, Pwyll’s widow, and Pryderi’s mother. Llwyd makes Rhiannon bear his horses’ yokes, while Pryderi had to carry the gate hammers while they are in captivity.

Black is the color of the hidden, the secretive and the unknown, creating an air of mystery. It keeps things bottled up inside, hidden from the world. In color psychology the meaning of the color black is protection from external emotional stress. It creates a barrier between itself and the outside world, providing comfort while protecting its emotions and feelings, and hiding its vulnerabilities, insecurities and lack of self-confidence.

In a positive state, black is seen as a restful emptiness into which anything may emerge and disappear once again. It is also mysterious, providing a sense of potential and possibility.
