Ancient root and name story

Origin: Welsh. Meaning: wheel king. Rhodri comes from the Old Welsh name Rotri, formed from rod, meaning wheel, and ri, meaning king.

The name was borne by several medieval Welsh rulers, most notably Rhodri the Great, a 9th-century king of Gwynedd. These historical bearers reflect the name's long standing in Welsh royal and cultural tradition.

Today Rhodri remains a strong, authentically Welsh choice, carrying both a regal meaning and a heritage of medieval leadership.
