Wynnie

Wynnie is a sweet, diminutive feminine name that likely originated as a nickname for Winifred or Gwendolyn. With Welsh roots, it relates to words meaning 'fair' and 'blessed' or 'happy.' The name has a cheerful, vintage quality that evokes the early 20th century when nickname-names were popularly used as given names. Wynnie has never been tremendously common but experienced modest usage during the early 1900s before declining. The name's 'W' beginning and 'ie' ending give it a distinctive softness while maintaining its brightness and spunk. In contemporary usage, Wynnie might appeal to parents drawn to short, vintage names with a playful quality and positive associations.

Pronounced WIN-ee.
