Geirr Bassi, p. 17, states that the genitive case of names ending with -r is formed by changing the ending -r to -s. The patronymic suffix -son or -dóttir is then added to the genitive case stem. In some cases, the -r changes to -ar before adding the suffix. However, -ingr is not listed as one of the endings that takes this change.

The submitter gives the English translation of the Household name as "People (or Clan) of the Whirlpool (or Vortex)" and states, "The format of "<group (People/House/etc)> of <location / geographic feature>" seems to be a fiarly common one as a quick search of registered household names will show."
Teulu - Lewis, D. Geraint, Welsh-English English-Welsh Dictionary (New Lanark, Scotland: Geddes and Grosset, 2001), p. 125, s.v. teulu, gives the meaning of this masculine noun as "family".
Trobwll - Lewis, D. Geraint, Welsh-English English-Welsh Dictionary (New Lanark, Scotland: Geddes and Grosset, 2001), p. 128, s.v. trobwll, gives the meaning of this masculine noun as "whirlpool".
Precedent states:
[Household name Teulu Ffynnon Ddu] Lady Harpy has noted that the use of teulu ("family") with a toponymic household name does not fit Welsh name structure. However, teulu also means "warband" which makes the name more plausible. (Giovanni Fontananera, October, 1993, pg. 9)
The meaning of the 1993 submission is roughly "Family/warband or the black spring/well/fountain". The household name submitted here follows the same pattern in the same language.
