The "white land" of the name (Latin: Albalanda) may refer to the famous Ty Gwyn (English: White House) where Hywel's parliament met, to the monks' unstained woollen cloaks, or to the abbey's limestone.

[citation needed] The country setting of the ruin and the Abbey's layout can still be viewed just north of the A40 roundabout and turning immediately left.

An electoral ward of the same name exists including the Henllanfallteg community with a total population of 2,272.

Whitland has many local sporting teams including Rugby union, football (soccer), cricket, short and long mat bowls, darts and billiards.
