Yes. I've found similar things in baby name books although I distinctly
remember one saying that it was actually _AngloSaxon_ origin and meaning in
all: "Valley Round-Hill". I guess my parents thought I was a "sine" of
things to come.... hahaha. Get it? Valley, hill?... :) Nevermind. :(

I'm aware of the -din part. But is "glyn" a native IE word in Celtic, I
wonder, just for the sake of moot curiosity? I don't know IE-Celtic
relationships very well.
