Both a given name and a surname, Gwynn has strong Welsh roots. Gender-neutral, it stems from Guinevere and is a variant of Gwen or Gwyn. In Welsh mythology, Gwyn ap Nudd is the ruler of the Otherworld, Annwn, and the king of the Tylwyth Teg, who were also known as the fair folk. Gwynn means “white,” “fair,” or “blessed,” acting as a lifelong reminder of how lucky you feel to have baby in your life.
