Aeronwy is Welsh in Origin.

Aeronwy is a Welsh feminine name built from Aeron + the suffix -wy, a common hydronym ending meaning “river.” It points to the Afon Aeron in Ceredigion; in modern Welsh, aeron means “berries, fruit,” though some scholars connect Aeron to an old Celtic battle deity. Together the elements yield readings such as “(of the) River Aeron” or poetically “river of fruits.” The structure mirrors other Welsh river names and place-derived given names.

Use as a given name is modern and rare, gaining profile through Aeronwy Thomas-Ellis (1943–2009), poet, translator, and daughter of Dylan Thomas, reportedly named for the river. Related forms include unisex Aeron and the distinct Aeronwen (“fair/blessed Aeron”). Aeronwy is seldom anglicised; spellings vary little, and there is no standard diminutive beyond Aeron.
