Griffith (name)
Griffith, and its Welsh form ' or ', is a name of Welsh origin that may be used as a personal name or surname, with or without the ''s'' as in ''Griffiths''. Second element iudd as a noun means 'lord', found on p. 160 in the entry for "Maredudd". The name has many variations as a result of the natural evolution of the name in Welsh, as well as the translation of the name from Welsh into both Latin and English.
