- Aeronwen
Description:
Aeronwen is a feminine Welsh name combining 'aeron,' meaning 'fruits' or 'berries,' with 'gwen,' meaning 'white,' 'blessed,' or 'fair.' Sometimes spelled Aronwen, this traditional Welsh name celebrates nature's bounty and purity. The name reflects Wales' rich linguistic heritage and connection to the natural world. While widely recognized in Wales, Aeronwen remains relatively uncommon in other English-speaking countries, though interest in Celtic names has brought increased attention to such traditional Welsh names. The pronunciation (eye-RON-wen) may present challenges for non-Welsh speakers, but its distinctive character and meaningful etymology appeal to parents seeking a name with authentic cultural roots and natural symbolism.
- Aeronwy
Description:
Aeronwy is a feminine Welsh name pronounced roughly as "air-ON-wee." It gained recognition as the name of Dylan Thomas's daughter, Aeronwy Thomas-Ellis, who became a poet and writer herself. The name has roots in Welsh geography, as Afon Rhonwy is a river in Wales, with "afon" meaning "river" in Welsh. Aeronwy embodies the lyrical quality characteristic of Welsh names, with its flowing sounds and unique letter combinations. Though rare outside Wales, it represents an authentic piece of Welsh heritage and carries poetic associations through its connection to the Thomas literary legacy. The name may appeal to parents with Welsh ancestry or those drawn to names with authentic Celtic origins. Despite its unfamiliarity to many English speakers, Aeronwy has a musical quality that can transcend cultural boundaries.

WelshMeaning:
"very fair, beautiful"Description:
Anwen is one of the simplest and best of the classic Welsh girls' names, more unusual than Bronwen but with the same serene feel.
- Anwyn
Description:
Anwyn is a feminine Welsh name meaning 'very beautiful' or 'very fair.' Composed of the Welsh elements 'an' (very) and 'gwyn' (white, fair, or blessed), this lyrical name has ancient Celtic roots. Though relatively uncommon, Anwyn appeals to parents seeking a distinctive name with authentic Welsh heritage. The name has a melodic, flowing quality that sounds both ethereal and strong. Anwyn shares some similarities with the more familiar Bronwyn, but offers a more unique option. In Welsh tradition, names containing the element 'gwyn' often conveyed purity and spiritual blessing. With its gentle sound and meaningful etymology, Anwyn projects both grace and substance.

- Elowynn
Description:
Elowynn is a feminine name with modern aesthetic appeal, combining elements that evoke both nature and fantasy. Likely a contemporary creation inspired by traditional Welsh or Celtic naming patterns, it may blend elements from names like Elowen (Cornish for 'elm tree') with the popular '-wyn' or '-wynn' ending (meaning 'fair' or 'blessed' in Welsh). The name possesses an ethereal, musical quality with its flowing syllables and distinctive spelling. Elowynn projects an image of mystical femininity and connection to nature, making it appealing to parents seeking something unique yet melodious. While not historically common, Elowynn has gained some traction in recent years among parents looking for uncommon names with a whimsical, enchanted forest feel that balance uniqueness with an intuitive pronunciation.

Fern was most popular from the turn of the last century through the 1940s, reaching a high of #152 in 1916. We can certainly see her rejoining the long list of popular greenery names.

- Maren
Origin:
LatinMeaning:
"sea"Description:
Maren is one of the many twenty-first-century takes on Mary--but we find the more classic Marin spelling preferable. When spelled Maren, the pronunciation seems more clearly to resemble Mary, with the emphasis on the first syllable. Marin, the spelling also used for the beautiful coastal county north of San Francisco, is often pronounced with the emphasis on the second syllable, as in Marie.
- Merryn
Origin:
Cornish variation of Mirin, Irish and Scottish, meaning unknownDescription:
St. Merryn, the name of a Cornish town derived from Mirin, a 6th century Irish saint important in Scottish history often as Mirren, is sometimes used in modern times as a girl's name. Lovely, sleek, shimmery feel though many will assume it's invented until you enlighten them on its long history. Also spelled Meryn.

Morwyn is a feminine name with Welsh origins. It combines 'mor' meaning 'sea' and 'gwyn' meaning 'white' or 'blessed,' sometimes interpreted as 'maiden of the sea' or 'fair sea.'

While relatively uncommon in mainstream usage, Morwyn has maintained a steady presence in Wales and among families celebrating their Welsh heritage. The name carries a mystical quality, sometimes associated with folklore about sea spirits or mermaids in Celtic traditions. Morwyn offers a distinctive choice for parents seeking a name with authentic Celtic roots and natural symbolism.
