John Bodvan Anwyl (1875 - 1949) was a Congregational minister, lexicographer, and author. His parents were John Anwyl (lay preacher) of the Anwyl family of Caerwys, Flintshire, and Ellen Anwyl (née Williams), whose family came from the Llangwnnadl area. He joined the Congregational Church and in his twenties decided to enter the mininstry, acquiring a position in Elim, Carmarthen in 1899. Unfortunately, his deafness proved a problem, and in 1904 he vacated his post to take charge of the Deaf and Dumb Institute at Pontypridd.
