There is a public school in Scarborough, North Yorkshire, called Scarborough College and Lisvane School. Is the Lisvane here, named after Lisvane near Cardiff? Or does the word Lisvane have a meaning other than being a place name or a person's name?
Also, is there a connection between Llysfaen in North Wales and Lisvane?
- In name only. The English Lisvane is a corruption of the Welsh Llys-faen.
I am from Lisvane - Llysfaen, and I was led to believe that the translation of Llysfaen meant Court or Gathering place of kings. There is a local legend that talks of Llysfaen being an area attributed to a Welsh version of King Arthur
