 Cunedda as Vortigern, by August Hunt   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Obviously, Mac Cuilinn and the Maqui-Coline of the Wroxeter Stone may be the same name and hence the same person.
Gwynedd was thus founded by Chuinnedha alias Mac Cuilinn of the Manapii in Ireland, not by a chieftain of Manau Gododdin in Britain.
The Irish origin of Cunedda should not be a surprise to us, as there is the well-documented case of the Welsh genealogy of the royal house of Dyfed, which was altered to hide the fact that Dyfed was founded by the Irish Deisi.

The importance of trees in Celtic religion is shown by the fact that the very name of the Eburonian tribe contains a reference to the yew tree, and that names like Mac Cuilinn (son of holly) and Mac Ibar (son of yew) appear in Irish myths.
Roman writers stated that the Celts practiced human sacrifice on a fairly large scale and there is peripheral support for this in Irish sources; however, most of this information is secondhand or hearsay.

Corrie/Corry is an anglicization of the Irish surnames Mac Gothraidh, Ó Comhraí, Ó Comhraidhe, and Ó Corra.
Lesslyn is probably derived from the Gaelic leas cuilinn, meaning "garden of holly" Thus, you could use a name meaning "holly" to partially translate Leslie.
