I don't know how they've evolved into names, and the archaic meanings of them, but in day to day Welsh language, "teg" means fair as in just or balanced, "gwyn" means white, and "tegan" actually means toy. So I'm guessing in the case of the name "Tegan", "an" is just a diminutive or something. But, "tylwyth teg" means fairies, and I'm not sure if in that context, "teg" means fair as in just, or fair as in beautiful. It could be either.

I prefer Gwyn too, but Tegwen is nice.
