Welsh girl name
Llinos Name Meaning, Origin & Pronunciation
Llinos means linnet. From the Welsh word llinos, meaning linnet
Llinos is the Welsh word for linnet, a small songbird known for its pleasant, tuneful call. Used as a girl's name it carries a sense of music and lightness. The double l is the notable feature: it is pronounced with a breathy sound made by placing the tongue at the roof of the mouth and blowing air around it. That makes it difficult for English speakers but beloved in Wales. It is a rarer choice than Carys or Catrin and fits well with other Welsh nature names.
