Comments (Meaning / History Only)

In Breton, the name is Gwenn. Gwenn in Bretagne, Blanche in the rest of France.
Actually, this is just the feminine way of saying the color 'white'. The masculine way is 'blanc'. As far as I know, it has no connections to meaning 'fair'.
In response to echo_of_the_past, fair doesn't only mean "pretty" or "beautiful". It can mean light coloured, for example a very fair woman would probably look good, but also have rather pale skin. I hope I clarified that for you.
