Goldwyn

US Popularity Rank: None

Origin: British

Meaning: Golden friend

Just as Willy Wonka has his golden tickets, you have your prized possession in baby Goldwyn. As a boy's name of Old English origin, Goldwyn means "golden friend." Goldwyn is derived from Goldwine, where gold retains its modern meaning, and wine means "friend." This historically significant moniker appeared as a surname in the Domesday Book under a Sussex-based lord in 1086.
