Considering that the name itself is Mabon, with Modron being the parent (mother), the "ap" is a relation conjunction. That is, the word "ap" means "son of."

Simailar conjunctions are found in several languages.

"Son of" in either the Brethonic or the Goidelic Gaelic. Ergo You have, 'Mabon the Son of (His Mother) Modron'.
Just think of it as being the same as the Welsh equivalent of the "O", "Mac" and "Mc" prefixes used in Ireland and Scotland
