Meaning: Of Guinevere; Supplanter

Egwene is a fantastical name that is believed to be a variant of the classic mythological name Guinevere. In the story of King Arthur, Guinevere features heavily as his Queen of Camelot. But this variant of the name comes most famously from Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson's The /Wheel of Time series. No matter where your love stems from—or whether there's a Lancelot in baby's future or not—this fiction-filled name will bring baby plenty adventure.
