ArchivesRe: ORIGIN OF NAME
in reply to a message by Cynthia
I think your theory is highly likely. Estyn is occasionally found as a male name in Wales and it is not uncommon for feminine names to add a -a suffix to a male name.
Examples include:
Owen - Owena
Aeron - Aerona
Arfon -Arfona
Meirion -Meiriona
