The name Gwyniveth is a girl's name meaning "blessed yew tree; blessed rebirth".

Gwyniveth feels as if it could have stepped out of Arthurian, however, it is in fact a compound name, combining the Welsh element gwyn with Iveth, a French variation of Yvette. 
A direct interpretation of the meaning would be "blessed yew tree", but the name could also mean "blessed rebirth" due to the symbolism and qualities of the yew. Long associated with regeneration and new growth, for @ladyofthetower (the Berry who created this name), the meaning "yew" connects it to the biblical second birth experienced by a disciple of Christ. This adds a layer of spiritual value to the name, along with ideas of new beginnings and fresh starts.
 
The name is said with all short vowels, and feels like it could fit in with Gwyneth, Arleth, Guinevere, and Gwendolyn.
