Significant! The virtues cherished across centuries... in a world clouded by complexity, Gwynedd's simplicity and purity offer a refreshing perspective. Clarity, innocence, divine grace circling in my mind's eye... moreover, her inherent blessing bestows a sense of optimism and hope. She speaks to the innate desire for goodness and spiritual fulfillment. In essence, Gwynedd stands as a beacon of light amidst life's uncertainties, guiding individuals on a path to the kingdom of dreams. (Gwynedd was the first name on my birth certificate, but at my grandparents' urging it was quickly changed to Gwendolyn. I think I may change my name back to Gwynedd, when I'm old enough. It suits me better.)

Although some of the British name dictionaries I own claim Gwynedd is predominantly masculine (saying Gwyneth is a feminine form of "masculine" Gwynedd) figures from the UK census found on Ancestry.com show that Gwynedd has been predominantly female in the UK since census records began in 1841. The first example of a female Gwynedd is in 1851. The first male Gwynedd doesn't show up until 1881; there are 2 male and 13 female Gwynedds in the index to the 1881 census. In the 1939 England and Wales register, the latest UK information available on Ancestry's "census" lists, there are 34 male and 117 female Gwynedds listed. So this site is correct in putting "F" ahead of "M" in usage.

Gwynedd is absolutely lovely! I like it much more than Gwyneth; Gwynedd looks and sounds more friendly, warm, and approachable.
To clarify on pronunciation: Gwynedd is indeed pronounced Gwen-eth (Gwen-eð), but the th is voiced (ð). Think "then" as opposed to "thin".

I live in Gwynedd. Around here, it would be kind of odd to have someone in your school or something like that, with the same name as your county.
Also, it's "Gwin-eth", but the "th" sound is made harder, if you get what I mean.
