Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch (58 characters); Short forms: Llanfair PG, Llanfairpwll, Llanfairpwllgwyngyll The 58 characters include 7 digraphs, so it consists of only 51 letters in the Welsh language.
The parish name was recorded as Llanfair y Pwllgwyngyll ('Llanfair' meaning "[St.] Mary's church"; y meaning "(of) the") as far back as the mid 16th century, in Leland's Itinerary. The suffixing of the township name to that of the church would have served to distinguish the parish from the many other sites dedicated to Mary in Wales.
