Meaning & History

Possibly from the name of the Celtic god of love, Dwyn combined with the Welsh element gwyn "blessed, white, fair"; or derived from Welsh dwyn "to lead (a life)", in which case it means "to a lead a blessed life".

This name was borne by Saint Dwynwen, the Welsh patron saint of lovers. According to legend she was a beautiful princess who was visited by an angel.
