Olwin is a feminine name of Welsh origin, related to the Welsh male name Olwen. It derives from elements meaning 'white footprint' or 'white track' in Welsh mythology. In the medieval Welsh tale Culhwch and Olwen, Olwen was a beautiful maiden whose father set nearly impossible tasks for her suitor. The flowers reportedly sprang up wherever she walked, creating white tracks (her name's literal meaning). The feminine Olwin variant maintains the mythological connection while offering a slightly different sound. While uncommon even in Wales, Olwin appeals to those seeking names with Celtic heritage and mythological significance. Its short, distinctive sound combines ancient roots with a contemporary feel. The name shares phonetic qualities with more common names like Olwyn and Olga but remains a rare and distinctive choice.
