What is the meaning of the name Arwenn ?

The baby name Arwenn is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced AR-wen (IPA: /ˈɑːrwɛn/ or /ˈɑr.wɛn/).

Arwenn is in Origin.

Arwenn is a modern elaboration of Arwen, popularized by J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings. Tolkien formed Arwen from Sindarin ar- "noble" + -wen "maiden," meaning "noble maiden." The double‑n spelling is a contemporary variant, echoing Welsh -wen, a feminine ending meaning "fair, blessed" (cf. Gwen, Bronwen).

Arwen entered real-world use in the late 20th century, rising after the 2001–2003 films; Arwenn appears more rarely but follows the same trend, chosen for distinctiveness while keeping the same pronunciation ar-wen. Variants and related forms include Arwen, Arwynn/Arwenne, Arwyn (traditionally masculine in Welsh), Anwen, and Arianwen; nicknames Ari, Wen, Winnie. Meaning is "noble maiden" via Tolkien, with a secondary echo of "fair/blessed" from Welsh -wen. Cultural associations evoke elvish grace and resilience.
