I know it's male and I assume with the "wyn" ending that it is Welsh. Does anyone have anymore clues about it?

The wyn could be a variation on the Old English wine, meaning friend. Maybe Adi is somehow related to an Old English word.

It's not Welsh.

As Anthony suggests, it's probably Old English, or at least made-up from Old English name elements.
