Tudur

Tudur is a Welsh form of the name ultimately derived from the Germanic elements theud, meaning people or folk, and ric, meaning power or ruler, giving an overall sense of ruler of the people. It was borne by several Welsh princes and chieftains throughout the medieval period, and is most famously associated with the Tudor dynasty, the royal house of England that descended from Welsh ancestors, whose name is the anglicized form of Tudur. Related forms include Tudor, the anglicized spelling, as well as the earlier Brythonic name Teutorigos, which reflects the same underlying roots.
