Origin: Welsh

Meaning: Very fair, very beautiful

Anwen is a feminine name of Welsh origin whose exact roots are difficult to trace. Likely an ancient blending of An and w_en_ from Gwen, Anwen inherits the meaning “very fair” or “very beautiful.” Not to be confused with Tolkien’s invented Arwen for his Lord of the Rings universe, Anwen is a rare and genuine Welsh name that deserves more fame. Praising baby for their inner and outer beauty, Anwen’s effortless elegance knows no bounds.
