The Caerphilly County Borough website records that this French name means iris or lily flower, adopted by royal families in France as a heraldic symbol. The name was given to the village in the 17th century by Huguenots from France who had fled religious persecution in their country. The name was an important link for them to their lost homeland. Though the name is often shown as Fleur de Lys or other variations, Fleur-de-lis is now used as the standard spelling by the local authority. Early records show the name as Flower-de-luce in 1833 and both Fleur-de-lis and the Welsh Trelyn in 1869. Locals often call the village Flower.

Gellihaf - Please Drive Carefully
The sign alongside the A4049 faces Fleur-de-lis near the corner of Gellihaf Road. The larger Fleur-de-lis sign https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5776321 is on the back of this one. Part of Caerphilly County Borough, Gellihaf is Welsh for summer grove or enclosure. When the area was mainly farms, the land around Gellihaf was used as summer grazing in the traditional Welsh way of farming as it is on a hillside rather than in the valley below.
