CILYMAENLLWYD
Cil - a retreat
Maen - stone
Llwyd - grey or pale
Therefore meaning - 'retreat of the pale stone.'
In the 1760s the church of Killmaenllwyd was established - being rebuilt about a century later. It is recorded that the attendance for the new church was so great that many had to wait outside.
Login is referred to as a hamlet - originally known as LOGINDWR - the name coming from the archaic word for dirty stream or pool - 'halogyn'. The steep terrain means that water runs quickly after rain and this causes it to become brown.
