__NOTOC__Tudor is a male
Christian name orgiven name used inWales , andRomania , equivalent to " Theodore". In Wales, 'Tewdwr' was an older spelling, later beingAnglicised to 'Tudor'.Due to evolving Welsh naming conventions, it gradually migrated to become a surname in Wales. For example, a son of a man called Tewdwr might be styled '(forename) ap Tewdwr' (i.e. '(forename), son of Tewdwr'), which gradually evolved into an English-style surname.
Most famously, it was used by a branch of the descendants of
12th century Welsh rulerRhys ap Gruffydd ofDeheubarth , who through intermarriage with the English Royal family, ascended the English throne in 1485. ThisTudor Dynasty remained in power until the death of Elizabeth I in 1603, an era known historically in England and Wales as theTudor Period ."Tudor" may refer to:
