Morwynna is a Scottish variant spelling. I know of a person from Scotland with this name. It is derived directly from the word morwyn.
Morwenna and Morwenn are also used in Breton. They are composed of the words "Mor" and "Gwenn" which mean "White Sea".
Morwenna is a very beautiful, magical name. There are many meanings given for it, but most seem to come from people trying to find Welsh/Cornish words it looks like. It's most likely that 'mor' means 'sea' and the rest is just unknown. It certainly doesn't mean 'maiden' in Cornish, as that is 'moren'.I disagree with the usage, which is given only as 'Welsh'. It's very much considered a Cornish name and is often suggested amongst expectant Cornish families. In fact, there are more birth records of Morwennas in Cornwall than for the whole of Wales.
