Alwyn is a masculine name of English and Welsh origin, meaning “elf friend” or “wise friend.” It is derived from Old English names Alfwin or Elwin, which combine the words oelf and wine, translating to “elf” and “friend,” respectively. In Welsh, this melodic name is commonly thought to be the masculine version of the feminine Alwen. This enchanting moniker is well-suited to baby or parents who are drawn to elven fairytales.
