Gwayn is the Late Medieval form of Gawain, which is thought to be derived from the Welsh Walchgwn, meaning ”white hawk.” In Arthurian legend, King Arthur’s nephew Sir Gawain was a Knight of the Round Table and was regarded as a hero. This masculine title is the stuff of legends—a name like Gwayn will remind baby to have the courage of a knight while pursuing their dreams, keeping their eyes on the prize like the observant hawk.
