About Bryn Athyn
Bryn Athyn is a home-rule borough in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, United States. It was formerly a borough, and its official name remains "Borough of Bryn Athyn". As of the 2020 census, Bryn Athyn had a population of 1,272. It was formed for religious reasons from Moreland Township on February 8, 1916. Bryn Athyn is surrounded by Lower Moreland Township.
"Bryn Athyn" was intended to mean "Hill of Unity" by its founders. "Bryn" is Welsh for "hill"; the source of "athyn" was the 1889 edition William Spurrell's An English-Welsh Pronouncing Dictionary. Spurrell, in turn, apparently got the word from William Owen Pughe, who seems to have coined the term for his Dictionary of the Welsh Language, in which the word is said to mean "tenacious" or "cohesive." It was not attested in print before its inclusion in Pughe's dictionary.
Bryn Athyn is located less than 2 miles (3.2 km) north of Philadelphia.
