Origin: Welsh

Meaning: White ring; Blessed

Gwendolynn is a girl’s name of Welsh origin, meaning “white ring” or “blessed.” Similar in spelling to the names Gwendolyne and Gwendolynne, it joins the many iterations that have sprung from all-classic Gwendolyn, which you might know from the legend of Merlin the Magician. While it isn’t as popular as its predecessor, Gwendolynn’s graceful “-lynn” ending has a special charm that’ll enchant any expecting parent.
