When faced with life's tumultuous seas, the holy one from Noyal is the one who weathers the storm and guides us with radiant light.

I love this name so much that I called my daughter Nolwenn. We sometimes shorten it to Nolly.

This name has a total Sorceress Morgana feel to it. It's just so Medieval and Magical. I think Morwenna and Nolwenn (similar-sounding and starting with consecutive letters in the alphabet) would make great twin names.
