Morwina Origin and Meaning

The name Morwina is a girl's name.

Morwina is a feminine name of Celtic, particularly Cornish, origin. It's derived from elements meaning 'sea' and 'white, fair, or blessed' - potentially translating to 'fair maiden of the sea' or 'blessed by the sea.' This evocative name carries the mystical quality characteristic of Celtic names, connecting its bearer to ancient traditions and coastal landscapes. Morwina is exceptionally rare, rarely appearing in name rankings or historical records outside of Cornwall and parts of Wales. The name shares roots with the more familiar Morgan and perhaps Morwen, but offers a more distinctive option with its flowing, three-syllable structure. Despite its rarity, Morwina has an accessible pronunciation and evokes images of coastal beauty and Celtic heritage, making it an option for parents seeking an uncommon name with authentic historical roots.
