Gwynneth is a girl’s name of Old Welsh origin. Derived from the word gwynaeth, it may translate to “happiness,” but it can also mean “white” or “fair” if you look to the Welsh roots gwen or gwyn. While Gwyneth is probably known best as the name of an award-winning actress, Gwynneth’s got some stars of its own to steal the spotlight, like Gwynneth Coogan, a former American Olympic athlete and mathematician.
