Tudor

Tudor

__NOTOC__Tudor is a male Christian name or given name used in Wales, and Romania, equivalent to " Theodore". In Wales, 'Tewdwr' was an older spelling, later being Anglicised to 'Tudor'.

Due to evolving Welsh naming conventions, it gradually migrated to become a surname in Wales. For example, a son of a man called Tewdwr might be styled '(forename) ap Tewdwr' (i.e. '(forename), son of Tewdwr'), which gradually evolved into an English-style surname.

Most famously, it was used by a branch of the descendants of 12th century Welsh ruler Rhys ap Gruffydd of Deheubarth, who through intermarriage with the English Royal family, ascended the English throne in 1485. This Tudor Dynasty remained in power until the death of Elizabeth I in 1603, an era known historically in England and Wales as the Tudor Period.
