The property was named Penderyn after a village in Wales. Penderyn, pronounced Pen-dare-in, means "bird's head" in Welsh. The name was chosen because the house sits on a peninsula that juts into the Wye River which was named after the Wye River in Wales and because it is home to numerous species of birds.
