Glyniss Origin and Meaning

Glyniss is a feminine variant of the Welsh name Glyn, which means 'valley' or 'glen.' This spelling variation adds an extra 's' to the more common form Glynis. The name evokes images of lush, green valleys and carries a distinctly Celtic flair. Though never extremely popular in English-speaking countries, Glyniss has maintained a quiet presence throughout the 20th century, particularly in Wales and areas with Welsh heritage. The name has an elegant, somewhat aristocratic feel while maintaining a connection to nature. People named Glyniss are often perceived as thoughtful and graceful, with the name's soft sounds contributing to this impression.
