There's a little image displaying before everybody's username which tells you if they're a single user, a community or a syndicated account. I'm calling them 'sprites' because they're really small (17x17 on average), but I'm not sure there's an official name.
What Allah Sulu's Massive Tool does, among other things, is allow you to insert a custom sprite in place of the automatic LJ one. It uses a relatively large amount of code - two separate URLs, an image tag and the text for the displayed name - compared to <lj user=[username]>, but it's /really cool/.
Good guess! 'Ffrindiau' is the plural of the English loanword in Welsh for 'friends'. The Ys to which I referred, in case they didn't read correctly for you, are the capital and lower-case y-with-circumflex. Or with-hat, whatever the blasted symbol is called. The ironic thing is that I'm not really sure what difference in sound the accent makes....
