Gwyneth
- Which could also be just Gwen, Or Gwyn or Gweniveare..etc. I love how many different ways it can be spelled and the personality it seems to help portray. Jade - Plane and simple yet mystical.
- A lovely Welsh name. Gwen is adorable.
- Welsh meaning 'white wave'. Not a great meaning but a beautiful name. My first daughter will be named this. I imagine a strong, kind and intelligent leader of a woman with this name.
- A beautiful, feminine name, which envisages grace and beauty.
- Celtic-witchy sounding, mysterious.
Gwyneth's origins have many possibilities. It may be a compound of the Welsh words gwyn, meaning "White; blessed; holy" + geneth, meaning "girl." It could also possibly represent an altered spelling of Gwynedd, a region of medieval North Wales. It could also stem from the Welsh word gwenaeth, meaning "happiness; felicity." Gwyneth became popular in Wales at the end of the 19th century, and fron there spread to England and other English-speaking countries.
