About Alwena

Like Alwen, but with an extra feminine frill. Alwen itself is of obscure origin but possible meanings include: "white brow" (from the Welsh ael and gwen; "white footstep" as an alternative to Olwen; "nourishing" from a Welsh river name, ultimately from the pro-Celtic *al(aun)o-; "white, bright" as Breton form of Albina; and "elf joy" as a Breton variation of Old English Ælfwynn.

Alwenna is another spelling.

Pronounced al-WAY-nuh.
