Gwineth
g-wineth,
gwi-ne-th
Origin:Welsh
Meaning:White, fair; Blessed; Gwynned
Though American actress Gwyneth Paltrow popularized a different spelling, Gwineth is equally worthy of acclaim. A feminine moniker, Gwineth begins with gwyn, a Welsh element found in names like Gwendolyn and Gwyneira. Translating to "white," "fair," or "blessed," Gwineth could represent the bright path to success your little one will embark upon. Perhaps Gwineth arises from Gwynedd, the title given to a Welsh kingdom established in the 5th century. Today, that kingdom is known as the county of Gwynedd, a place your Gwineth will always feel connected to.
