[Facts] Gwenabwy
Can anyone tell me anything more about Gwenabwy? It's a Welsh feminine name.The first element is clearly gwyn, "white", and wy is a common suffix in Welsh names, but the second element is puzzling me. Superficially, it looks like ab, the mutated form of ap, "son of", when it precedes a vowel. But this does not make sense in this context.Thanks!
