Lleufer is Welsh in Origin.

Lleufer is a rare Welsh given name taken directly from the native noun lleufer, meaning light, brightness, or daylight. The element carries nuances of radiance and clarity, and in religious and poetic Welsh can suggest enlightenment or divine illumination. Phonetically, f represents a v sound, while the initial ll is the distinctive Welsh voiceless lateral.

As a personal name, Lleufer sees sporadic use in Wales, especially from the 19th century onward during the revival of indigenous names; one notable bearer was the civil servant and reformer T. Lleufer Thomas (1862–1946). The word itself is frequent in medieval and early modern Welsh literature, though not commonly as a given name. Established variants are few: some use the shorter Lleu as an affectionate or related form. Thematically related Welsh names include Llew and Llywelyn; anglicization generally keeps the original spelling.
