==Name== The town's name honours its patron saint and supposed founder Aelhaiarn ( "Iron Brow"), although it was long known by the corrupted name Llanhaiarn, leading locals to suppose there had once been a "Saint Elern" instead. (A nearby estate known as Elernion—i.e., "St. Elern's"—is thought to have a similar origin.) The official spelling of the parish's name was Llanaelhaiarn until 1957 when it was changed to Llanaelhaearn.
