US Popularity Rank: 15528

Origin: Celtic

Meaning: Fair; Blessed; Ring

Gwendoline is a female name and alternative spelling of Gwendolyn and Gwendolen. It stems from Welsh and Celtic roots and means "fair" and "blessed ring." But Gwendoline is not just some fair and gentle petal! Gwendolen, spelled in Latin Guendoloena, was a legendary queen of Britain in Geoffrey of Monmouth's 12th-century Historia regum Britanniae, who led her troops to victory over her ex-husband! Both fair and fierce, Gwendoline will no doubt grow up to know their own mind and flourish with confidence!
