Lennis

A pretty Welsh name with potential, especially for those who enjoy Maven, Maeve, and Mira. Occasionally used in Wales, a notable bearer is Welsh singer Meinir Gwilym.
 
Likely meaning "maiden", though "slender" and "young girl" are also suggested, the name features in a folk tale from north-west Wales called Rhys and Meinir, two lovers whose wedding day came to a tragic end. 
 Legend goes that Meinir followed the tradition of the "Wedding Quest", hiding from her soon-to-be husband and selecting an oak tree as her hiding place. Rhys searched for her, but, even with help from family and friends, was unable to find her. Years later, on a stormy night, Rhys was sheltering under the oak tree, which was then cracked in two by lightening. Out feel Meinir's skeleton, still in her wedding dress, and Rhys, unable to bear it, died.
