Blodwyn is Welsh in Origin.

Blodwyn is a Welsh given name formed from blodyn "flower" + gwen/gwyn "white, fair, blessed," yielding the meaning "white or fair flower." In standard Welsh gendered spelling, -wen is feminine and -wyn masculine, so Blodwen is the orthodox feminine form and Blodwyn can be interpreted as a masculine counterpart. In Anglophone records, however, Blodwyn has often been used for girls as a spelling variant of Blodwen.

Use rose with the 19th-century Welsh cultural revival, especially after composer Joseph Parry's 1878 opera Blodwen, and the name saw modest popularity in Wales into the early 20th century before fading. Variants and spellings include Blodwen (feminine) and Blodwyn (masculine or unisex in practice); common short forms are Gwen and Wyn. Related Welsh floral and "white/fair" names include Blodeuwedd and Gwen/Gwyn. Today Blodwyn reads vintage and nature-tinged, often chosen to honor Welsh heritage.
