particularly given that this spelling is still not at all uncommon (particularly for the well known historical bearers), even if one the variant spellings is more common worldwide in surnames. But I do take your point that saying "This article seems clearly to be more about the name
Llywelyn than the name Llewellyn" isn't quite right; I should have said something like "This article seems clearly to be more about the name as spelt Llywelyn than the name as spelt Llewellyn".

I believe it's true that
Llewellyn is the most common spelling for the surname (although not necessarily for the given name), and that they're the same name. However, I think there's a very good case all the same that this article be at "Llywelyn". When I read the article

To put this point another way: I think you did an excellent job of rewriting this article in a balanced and informative way. But I also think that the natural title for the article you wrote is
Llywelyn, not Llewellyn.
