Back in the 5th century, Gwynedd was a kingdom in northern Wales, though in modern times, it is both an unusual, unisex name and a Welsh county. For girls, it is more familiar in its modern form, Gwyneth or Gweneth.
 There are several possible theories around the origin of Gwynedd, one being that it comes from the Old Irish, Féni, meaning "Irish people", itself derived from the Primitive Irish, weidh-n meaning "wild, forest people", giving the name a subtle nature connection. Alternatively, it could come from the Old Irish fían or the Celtic wena, meaning "band of warriors", to reflect the Irish settlers who lived there.
