Guendolin Origin and Meaning

The name Guendolin is a girl's name.

Guendolin is a feminine name representing a variant spelling of Gwendolen or Gwendoline, names with Welsh origins meaning 'white ring' or 'blessed ring.' The name derives from the Welsh elements 'gwen' (white, fair, blessed) and 'dolen' (ring, bow). In Welsh mythology, Gwenddoleu was a 6th-century king. This alternative spelling gives the classic name a unique twist while maintaining its Celtic heritage. Though less common than the standard spellings, Guendolin carries the same lyrical quality and romantic associations. The name evokes images of medieval legends and Arthurian tales, appealing to parents drawn to names with both historical depth and a touch of whimsy.
