Edwynn Origin and Meaning

The name Edwynn is a girl's name.

Edwynn as a feminine name represents a gender-crossing adaptation of what has traditionally been a masculine name. It derives from the Old English name Eadwine, combining 'ead' (prosperity, wealth) and 'wine' (friend), literally meaning 'prosperous friend' or 'wealthy friend.' The doubled 'n' gives this variant a distinctive appearance. While Edwin/Edwyn has a long history as a male name dating back to Anglo-Saxon England, its use for girls is quite rare and contemporary. The name carries a classic, somewhat medieval resonance while the unusual spelling adds a modern touch. For parents seeking a name with both strength and historical depth for a daughter, Edwynn offers an uncommon option with rich etymological meaning.
