Re: Gwyn meaning
To a Welsh speaker, this is just one word that has a number of meanings and connotations. I believe the most common translation is actually "white." But asking which meaning was intended when someone was named Gwyn is like asking what meaning was intended when someone is named Grace. There are four or five separate dictionary definitions for this word, but you would never know which (if any) was particularly in mind when the parents chose that name unless you asked them.
