In the verdant hills and misty shores of Brittany, Nolwenn is herself a gentle breeze blown by the winds of legend. Steeped in myth and mystery, her spirit is as pristine and adventurous as her homeland. 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.

According to some sources Nolwenn might indeed mean "white lamb" from Celtic "anoan et gwenn" ("agneau et blanc" in French).

There is little to no evidence this name means “white lamb.” While “wenn” means white or pure, the Breton word for lamb is “oan”—not “nol.”

I love this name so much that I called my daughter Nolwenn. We sometimes shorten it to Nolly.
I think it's magical, pretty and unusual all at once and she loves it.

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.

It actually looks and sounds rather Welsh to me.

Well, you're not entirely incorrect. Breton is a Celtic language, which among Celtic languages is most similar to Welsh.
