Griffith (name)
Griffith, and its Welsh form Gruffydd or Gruffudd, is a name of Welsh origin that may be used as a personal name or surname, with or without the ''s'' as in ''Griffiths''.〔Morgan, T.J., Welsh Surnames, Qualitex Printing Limited, Cardiff, 1985, The ''Orthography of Welsh Surnames 5-8'', ''Gruffydd'' pgs 103–105, ''second element iudd as a noun means 'lord', found on page 160 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.〔 ''Griffith'' and ''Gruffydd'' are both considered as equally standard forms of the same name, the latter spelt in the Welsh language.〔 The name can also be associated with the Irish surname Griffin
==Evolution and history==
One of the oldest forms which gave rise all other variations is ''Grippiud'' or ''Gripuid'', which evolved into Old Welsh ''Griffudd''.〔 The second element of the name, ''iudd'', as a noun has a meaning of 'lord' and is found in other Welsh names such as ''Meredith'' (''Mared()udd'') and ''Bleidd()udd''.〔 In North Wales ''Griffudd'' evolved into ''Gruffudd''.〔 “When u came to have the same quality as the clear y (the y of monosyllables and final syllables) the name generally became Gruffydd, and this is now regarded as the standard form,” according T.J. Morgan and Prys Morgan .〔 ''Gruffudd'' of Old Welsh became spelt as ''Gruffydd'' in Middle Welsh and Modern Welsh of today. The high central vowel sound of ''u/y'' was lost entirely in South Wales and replaced by the ''i'' sound, and the form ''Griffidd'' became standard in the south, the region to first be encountered by Anglo-Norman scribes. 〔 The name is often associated with traitors.
