Is Glen Aplin a French word?
This is a place in Queensland, Australia. The word Glen depicts a valley, typically one that is long, deep, and often glacially U-shaped; or one with a watercourse running through such a valley. The word comes from the Irish language/Scottish Gaelic language word gleann, or glion in Manx. In Manx, glan is also to be found meaning glen. As the name of a river, it is thought to derive from the Welsh language glan meaning clean, or gleindid meaning purity. Aplin is a surname derived from the name of the martyr Appollina. http://www.surnamedb.com/surname.aspx?na… Glen Aplin is, I think one can safely assume, not French.
