The place-name ''Lundy'' is first attested in 1189 in the ''Records of the Templars in England'', where it appears as {{lang|la|[Insula de] Lundeia}}. It appears in the [[Charter Rolls]] as ''Lundeia'' again in 1199, and as ''Lunday'' in 1281. The name is Scandinavian and means '[[puffin]] island', from the [[Old Norse]] {{lang|non|lundi}} meaning 'puffin' (compare [[Lundey (disambiguation)|Lundey]] in [[Iceland]]); it appears in the 12th-century ''[[Orkneyinga saga]]'' as {{lang|non|Lundey}}.<ref>[[Eilert Ekwall]], ''The Concise Oxford Dictionary of English Place-names'', p.307.</ref>

Lundy is known in [[Welsh language|Welsh]] as {{lang|cy|Ynys Wair}}, 'Gwair's Island', in reference to an alternative name for the wizard [[Gwydion]].<ref>{{Cite book |last=Bromwich |first=Rachel |title=Trioedd Ynys Prydein: The Triads of the Island of Britain |isbn=9781783161461 |date=15 November 2014 |publisher=University of Wales Press |page=147 |url= https://books.google.com/books?id=K2euBwAAQBAJ&q=%22Ynys+Wair%22&pg=PA147}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book |title=The Encyclopedia of Celtic Mythology and Folklore |isbn=9781438110370 |last1=Monaghan |first1=Patricia |date=14 May 2014 |publisher=Infobase |page=477 |url= https://books.google.com/books?id=nd9R6GQBB_0C&q=%22Ynys+Wair%22&pg=PA477}}</ref>
