Llanelli, pronounced "hlah-NEL-ee," is a unique and distinctive given name of Welsh origin. It is derived from the town of Llanelli in South Wales, which means "dedication to St. Elly" in English. The name is composed of two elements: "llan" meaning church or enclosure, and "Elly" being a reference to Saint Elian, a 6th-century Irish saint who was reputedly buried there.
"Llanelli saw six new additions in 1994."
