So cute it almost sounds like a nickname yet strong enough to hold its own as a given name; Gwenny has strong Welsh roots and is typically feminine. It might come as no surprise that it is a variant of Gwen or Gwenyth, ultimately stemming from the mystical moniker Gwenhwyfar. According to an Arthurian legend, Gwenhwyfar is a medieval queen of Great Britain who was known for her great beauty. Gwenny has somewhat of a magical aura to it, with the definition of “white,” “fair,” “holy,” or “blessed” helping to remind baby of how lucky you feel to have them.
