Gwendolin

US Popularity Rank: 8535

Origin: Welsh

Meaning: White ring; Blessed

Gwendolin is a girl’s name of German origin. A variant of Gwendoline, borrowed from the classic Welsh name Gwendolen, this sweet and sophisticated moniker takes on the meanings of “white ring” and “blessed.” You might know one of its iterations, Gwendolyn, from Rick Riordan’s The Son of Neptune, or its “E”-ending alternative, Gwendolyne, from the Spider-Man comic book series, but Gwendolin’s rarity is sure to give your little one that special edge.
