Gwyn Origin and Meaning

The name Gwyn is a boy's name of Welsh origin meaning "fair, blessed".

Short, simple, gentle, undeniably Welsh but easy to spell and pronounce – there's a lot to like about this underused gem. In the States it's been almost exclusively female, perhaps due to the greater familiarity of Gwen, but it definitely feels like a candidate to reclaim for the boys.

Gwyn has exactly the same meaning and origin as his much more popular Irish cousin Finn.
