Anyone fluent in Welsh?

I was asked tonight was there a word in welsh for Laurel as in Laurel tree.

I know my sister would know but she isn't at home so I thought I would tap your collective knowledge.

I speak Welsh myself but this one has stumped me. Can anyone in MSEland help me with a translation?

Sorry I tried several lexicons and English Welsh dictionarys but no luck

I've been on the online welsh dictionary and got arel and llawryf.

Does anyone know which would be more relevant to a Ladies name?

Just been on to this website and found the following

115. LOWRI: Welsh form of Latin Laura, meaning "laurel."

dwi newydd wedi edrych yng ngheiriadur yr academi ac yn y geiriadur mawr, ac mae'r ddau yn dweud llawryf neu llawryfen yw'r gair am laurel.

mae'r geiriadur mawr yn arbennig o dda am bethau fel hyn - mae 'na atodiad ar ddiwedd bob adran (megis un yn saesneg ac un yn gymraeg), sy' rhoi'r enwau iawn ar bob math o anifeiliaid, planhigion, ffrwyth, geiriau estron wedi'i benthyg o ieithoedd arall ayyb

Glad

Hi, Martin’s asked me to post this in these circumstances: I’ve asked Board Guides to move threads if they’ll receive a better response elsewhere (please see this rule) so this post/thread has been moved to another board, where it should get more replies.
