The traditional placename of the village was Llanfihangel Genau'r Glyn (English: St Michaels at the Mouth of the Valley), which derives from its location in the old cwmwd of Genau'r Glyn, part of the cantref of Penweddig. Before that, the name was Llanfihangel Castell Gwallter. The name changed to Llanfihangel Genau'r Glyn in the 16th century. When the railway station opened in 1864 the nameboards read simply "Llanfihangel", but in 1916, at the request of Cynallmawr Parish Council "as Llanfihangel is a very common place name in Wales and much confusion is causing considerable inconvenience", the name was changed to Llandre (English: Churchtown).[1] The old name of Llanfihangel Genau'r Glyn still occurs frequently in books of Welsh history.[2] Office for National Statistics : Census 2011]</ref>
