Gwynith Origin and Meaning

The name Gwynith is a girl's name.

Gwynith is a feminine name of Welsh origin, representing a variant spelling of Gwyneth. The name derives from the Welsh word 'gwen' meaning 'white,' 'blessed,' or 'fair.' This elegant name carries associations with purity, happiness, and beauty in Welsh tradition. While less common than the standard spelling Gwyneth (which gained international recognition through actress Gwyneth Paltrow), Gwynith offers a slightly more distinctive alternative while maintaining the name's Welsh heritage. The name has an air of refinement and literary quality, evoking images of the rolling hills and rich folklore of Wales. Though not among the most popular names, it appeals to parents seeking a name with Celtic roots and historical depth.
