About Awen

The Welsh and Breton word for the artistic muse or inspiration, Awen is a subtly magical feeling choice, connected to poetry and creativity. Given to a handful of babies most years in Wales, it is predominantly used for girls, though it has very occasionally been given to boys too.

Not to be confused with Arwen or Owen, it would be said as A-wehn in Breton, but more like OW-ehn in Welsh, (ow like in crow)

Pronounced AH-wen.
