🇬🇧 🇺🇸 Gwyneth
/GWIN · ith/
Meaning
“Possibly band of warriors”
Welsh name of disputed origin. Most likely a variant of Gwynedd, the name of a medieval kingdom and modern county in north Wales; Gwynedd's own origin is uncertain, possibly related to an Old Irish word for 'the Irish people' and a Celtic root meaning 'band of warriors'. The name has been common in Wales since the 19th century, perhaps popularized by Welsh novelist Gwyneth Vaughan (1852-1910).
