Rhyl, as a noisy river?

When I started looking into the name my understanding of the word 'Rhyl' was a possibly archaic or rare and poetic word for a small, noisy river or brook, related to the etymology of the Rhondda rivers (as in the Song My little Welsh home which refers to "The magic music of the Rhyl"). I also thought there were other places (specificly watercourses) named Rhyl or Yr Rhyl in other parts of Wales but the only academic writing I have found refers exclusively to the Denbighshire town.

Was I wrong? Is "the magic music" referring to the Sun Centre? Please let me know if you can help.

Historically not Denbighshire

Once again, Rhyl was in historic Flintshire, not historic Denbighshire. It has only been in (modern) Denbighshire since 1996. Dank Jae 00:43, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
