Meaning & History

Seaside resort and community in the Welsh county of Denbighshire. The origin is not fully known. The name seems to be a hybrid of the English word "hill" and the Welsh definite article "y", meaning "the hill". Some documents refer to a dwelling house, Tŷ'n yr haul, meaning "house in the sun".
