While Gwyn and Arwyn are perfectly lovely, have you met their rarer cousin, Nellwyn? This feminine name is born from Greek Helen, meaning "torch" or "light," and the Welsh suffix "wyn," meaning "pure" or "fair." Nellwyn may also come from the Dutch name Boudewijn, a form of Baldwin, meaning "bright friend." This illuminating choice for baby will help guide them towards a bright future. Your Nellwyn will be a great pal, pure of heart, and always glad to shine their light upon those in need. Some adorable nicknames to spark inspiration are Nell, Nellie, and Wyn.
