Gwynneth Origin and Meaning

The name Gwynneth is a girl's name.

Gwynneth is a feminine name of Welsh origin, an elaborate variation of Gwyneth, meaning 'blessed' or 'happiness.' The distinctive double 'n' spelling adds a touch of uniqueness to this already elegant name. Connected to the Welsh element 'gwyn' meaning 'white,' 'fair,' or 'blessed,' Gwynneth carries connotations of purity and joy. While less common than the single-n version Gwyneth (which gained popularity through actress Gwyneth Paltrow), this spelling variation maintains the name's Celtic charm while offering a slightly more ornate appearance. The name evokes images of Welsh countryside and Celtic heritage, appealing to parents drawn to names with historical depth and melodic quality.
