Lucia would have become Llyg' in Brithenig.  I can also find mulyer on
one of my lists so Mulyedur is quite possible.  I'm more interested in
the etymology of Mangiat as Friuli was one the Romance languages I
looked at as an influence on Brithenig.

Andrew amused.  Ill Rhuil makes good Brithenig, as Philip pointed out.
I have no idea what it would mean.  Daniel is a good biblical name and
Maurice/Morris derives from VL.  In Cymraeg Daniel merged with the
Celtic saint Deiniol so I could postulate the form Dein(i)el *there*.
Along with the name Mewrig' I can suggest the acceptable Brithenig name:

Dein(i)el ffeil Mewrig'
