Endellion Origin and Meaning
The name Endellion is a boy's name .
Endellion is the name of an early saint who was a daughter of King Brychan and goddaughter of King Arthur whose life is commemorated by the Cornish village of St. Endellion. This intriguing ancient name was brought into modern usage by British Prime Minister David Cameron, who used it as one of the middle names for his fourth child (a daughter).
Although originally a feminine name, like most place names, there is no reason Endellion can't be used as masculine name. Indeed, a lot of boys would love to have the word "lion" in their name.
The Latinized form of the name is Endelienta.
