About Winwaloe
One of the more eccentric early British saint names, Winwaloe was born in fifth-century Brittany, founded a monastery, and is commemorated in several churches across Brittany and Cornwall. Later in the middle ages, he gained a reputation as a patron of fertility, thanks to the similarity between his name and the Latin word gignere, "to beget". Other forms of the name are Guénolé in French, and Gwenole in Breton.
Pronounced WIN-wa-lo.
