PenDragon - the official magazine of Lyford Cay International School PenDragon Vol 2, Spring 2016 | Page 4

02 Spring 2016 STORY OF THE TITLE Pendragon is a traditional Welsh title meaning “chief dragon.” The name is associated with several historical kings including Uther Pendragon, the father of King Arthur. The title carried great weight in the Middle Ages and still conveys leadership and achievement today. PenDragon is an amalgam of the words “pen” and “dragon.” The pen symbolises writing, literature and knowledge and the dragon symbolises the spirit of LCIS through its mascot, LC. May the PenDragon long herald the spirit and ideals of Lyford Cay International School and its students.
