Crumlin

Alternative Name: Crymlyn
Morphology: from crymu+llyn
Phonetic: crumb-lynne

The name derives from the shape of a pool on the valley floor, possibly near the bridge. "Crwm" means curved or twisted and the verb form "crymu" means "to bend". The English name has evolved from a mis-spelling of the original Welsh name by mapmakers who wrote the name as it would sound in English. The place name was recorded as Crymlin 1630, Crumlyn’s bridge 1631 and Pont Grymlyn 1710.
