Winne Origin and Meaning

The name Winne is a girl's name.

Winne is a feminine name that functions as a shortened form of Winifred or Winona, or occasionally as an independent name. Deriving from Welsh elements, it relates to "win" (fair, white, blessed) and "fred" (peace), thus carrying meanings of "blessed peace" or "fair one." The name has Old English and Welsh roots, with historical usage dating back centuries. Winne has a cheerful, vintage quality with its short, bright sound. While not among the most common names, it saw modest popularity in the early 20th century, particularly in the United Kingdom. The name experienced a decline mid-century but has potential for revival in the current trend of rediscovering short, vintage names. Winne balances uniqueness with familiar sounds and historical grounding.
