This name can also mean "Waves Of The Sea" according to other books and websites!
This is a Cornish name meaning 'maid of the sea' from the Cornish words 'mor' (sea) and 'wen' (a fair woman).
Mor is great, and wen is blessed. So why doesn't the name mean "Great blessed one"?
My daughter Morwenna was given this name because her father is a Cornishman. An elderly gentleman in his village gave us some old Cornish names. In Cornwall the name means 'wind on the moors'.
