Meaning & History
Derived from Old High German frot, fruot "wise" and wini "friend". Frowin figures as a governor of Schleswig in Gesta Danorum and in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle as an ancestor of the kings of Wessex, but the latter source only tells that he was the son of Friðgar and the father of Wig.
