The name Lewis most likely came from the Welsh word “Llewellyn” (that translates to 'Lion-Like'). This term comes from the Welsh word “llyw,” which means leader. The Welsh progenitors of the Bulloch County Lewis clan start with Richard ap Lewis, born before 1537, who died in 1628 in Llangotuck, Crickhowell, Brecknockshire, Wales.
