The original meaning of llan in Welsh is "an enclosed piece of land", but it later evolved to mean the parish surrounding a church. Most places beginning with Llan have some connection to a saint, usually of the Celtic church. Llan or Lan is a common place name element in Brythonic languages such as Welsh, Cornish, Breton, Cumbric, and possibly Pictish. In Wales there are over 630 place names beginning with 'Llan'. In Cornwall and Brittany the element is usually spelled 'Lan' or 'Lann', occasionally 'Laun'. This gives us places like Lewannick derived from the Cornish: Lannwenek.
