in reply to a message by Doug
Hi !!!
The only trace I found is that Guinehl could be the Dutch form of a Breton surname itself from a masculine given name: Gwenhael (see Gwenaël / Gwenaëlle).
It could be that "h" is after the "e" in Guinehl and not before like in Gwenhael because the Dutch spelling was influenced by German.
Obviously I don't know your ancestry so it is just an hypotesis.

1 I don't know anything about it/too much to be a name.
