I really like it. It’s pretty.
Morwenna is the name of the receptionist of the Doctor in the British TV series 'Doc Martin'.
Beautiful.
Morwynna is a Scottish variant spelling. I know of a person from Scotland with this name. It is derived directly from the word morwyn.
Morwenna was a character in Winston Graham's Cornish Poldark series. Gorgeous name.
This name can also mean "Waves Of The Sea" according to other books and websites!
Hauntingly beautiful in its Celtic charm.
Morwenna and Morwenn are also used in Breton. They are composed of the words "Mor" and "Gwenn" which mean "White Sea".
In Catherine Called Birdy by Karen Cushman, Morwenna is Catherine/Birdy's nurse.
Aww, this name is so beautiful and unique- too bad it's almost unheard of to a lot of people. :(
Morwenna is a very beautiful, magical name. There are many meanings given for it, but most seem to come from people trying to find Welsh/Cornish words it looks like. It's most likely that 'mor' means 'sea' and the rest is just unknown. It certainly doesn't mean 'maiden' in Cornish, as that is 'moren'.I disagree with the usage, which is given only as 'Welsh'. It's very much considered a Cornish name and is often suggested amongst expectant Cornish families. In fact, there are more birth records of Morwennas in Cornwall than for the whole of Wales.

This is a Cornish name meaning 'maid of the sea' from the Cornish words 'mor' (sea) and 'wen' (a fair woman).
This name is very unique and exotic, but kind of hard to pronounce.
Hearing the name Morwenna reminds me of tales of The Knights of the Round Table. It's just so magical. I love it.
This is a great name. It beats Edwina any day of the week! lol :)
This name has a really cool Medieval feel to it. Since I love many things Medieval, the name really appeals to me. She'd definitely be the only Morwenna in her class!
This is my friend's name and I love it! She pronounces it as more-when-ah and gets really annoyed when people call her more-ween-ah (for obvious reasons!) Her nicknames are mo, moo, wen and wenna.
Mor is great, and wen is blessed. So why doesn't the name mean "Great blessed one"?
This name is pronounced mohr-WEN-ah in Cornish.
This name is so pretty! I really like it, though I keep accidentally pronouncing it Mor-vay-na. I know there's a name that is pronounced More-ven, so that's probably where I'm getting this from.
Ehh. Could be better, in my opinion. (I noticed that 5% of people rated this a boy's name. Why would you call a boy a name that means 'maiden'?)
I quite like it, it's not well known at all and it sounds pretty.
My middle name is Morwenna and I pronounce it "MORE-WEN-A".
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'.
I like this name with the pronunciation "moor-WEE-nuh". I hope it's not actually "moor-WHEN-uh"!
Morwenna Banks is a British actress and comedian.
