Gweneviere

US Popularity Rank: 13933

Origin: Welsh

Meaning: White; Phantom, magical being

If you wish your little one to live a legendary life, give them the enchanting name Gweneviere. A variant of Guinevere, this feminine name is most famously used in literature’s Arthurian legend as the medieval Queen of Camelot and wife of King Arthur. It takes its meaning of “white,” “phantom,” and “magical being” from its Norman French and Welsh roots, making it a fair and fantastical choice for little Gwen.
