Melwynn Origin and Meaning

The name Melwynn is a boy's name.

Melwynn is a rare masculine name with Celtic and Welsh roots. It likely derives from elements meaning 'chief' or 'prince' (mel) combined with 'white' or 'fair' (gwyn). Similar to more common names like Melvin or Kelwyn, Melwynn carries an air of distinction and nobility. The name has remained uncommon in modern usage, giving it a unique quality for parents seeking something distinctive. In Celtic traditions, names containing 'mel' or 'gwyn' elements often signified leadership qualities or physical attributes. Melwynn's somewhat archaic spelling with the double 'n' adds to its medieval feel and visual appeal.
