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

It's not Welsh.

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

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