Sam Llewellyn: Hello, my name is Sam Llewellyn. At school they were always yelling, "Flewellyn." I was saying, "You've pronounced it wrong. The Wellyn bit's fine, but the Fle is a crime." Llewellyn is a Welsh name, and in Wales you pronounce Ll Fl if there's a double L in it. So, we're Llewellyn and we come from this strange foggy land full of mountains on the western side of England.

Until 200 years ago, we had no family names in Wales. Everybody was ap somebody else. So, if it was me, my great grandfather was called David, my grandfather was called Harry, and my father was called William. So, I would be Sam ap William ap Harry ap David. As you can imagine, this got pretty complicated after 20 or 30 generations, so people started to choose surnames, or family names as you'd call them. I guess that was about 200 years ago.

Llewellyn, that sounds a fine romantic name because, actually, it's sort of comes from the Welsh for lion. If you live in a small, boggy country full of mists and mountains, you probably like to imagine yourself as a lion, although you probably look a bit more like a beaver, really. And so, my family called itself Llewellyn and Llewellyn we have been ever since and into the mists of time.

I guess that it's kind of showing off a little to call yourself after a lion, but I'd rather be called after a lion than after a bowl of cereal. Wouldn't you?
