A famous bearer is Carwyn Jones, First Minister for Wales since 2009.
Carwyn Rees James, (2 November 1929 – 10 January 1983) was a Welsh rugby union player and coach. He won two Welsh international caps but is most famous for his coaching achievements for both Llanelli and the British Lions.
This is a male name, the female alternative has a different spelling- Carwen.
I also believe that the meaning could be Carw-wyn, Carw being Stag or Dear, wyn/wen being Pure/white etc.
The name is masculine because of the ending WYN, which is masculine in Welsh rather than the feminine WEN. By theory, Carwen would be the feminine spelling.
It seems masculine enough to me. I'm actually writing a story where the two main characters are named Carwyn and Ceridwen (another Welsh name of similar origin). The names just seemed to click.
I am surprised to see Carwyn listed as masculine, I was thinking it would be a pretty name for a girl.
I think that Carwyn is a very pretty name, for a girl.
