Meaning & Origin of Medrawd
Meaning: Restrained, moderate.
Origin: Welsh (from Latin).
A common claim: Because the Arthurian character Mordred/Medrawd is a notorious traitor, people sometimes assume the name itself has a sinister meaning. Actually: The Latin root Moderatus is etymologically neutral ('restrained/moderate'); any 'villainous' connotation comes from the legendary character, not the name's meaning.
