Title: Translation of Tyn Rhyn
Post by: JMITCH on October 04, 2014, 10:17:11 am

Hi,

I'm new to this forum and I'd like some help.

According to the deeds of our Edwardian house, the original name of the house was Tyn Rhyn.  I think Tyn means house, but what does Rhyn mean?  I'd be very grateful for a translation.

JMITCH.  $thanx$

Ty - house or cottage or dwelling
yn - in
yr - the
ynn - ashtrees

Grammatically,  I think the name should be Ty'n 'rhyn.

I think Cambrian is correct and we have a Tyn Rhyn  on the forum and also in research under the heading of "Evan Jones b 1776 Llangystenin" 

I posted a photo of the house names and made these comments:-
Just as a matter of interest the name Tyn Rhyn I think is a misspelling of the farm's name.    I believe that it should have been "Ty yn yr Ynn"  or "Ty'n yr Ynn" to shorten it a bit, but the name has been abbreviated over the years.
The name "Ty yn yr Ynn" in English means House in the Ash Trees, which is a fitting name because of it's woodland setting
