What is the meaning of the name Blodwynn ?

The baby name Blodwynn is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈblɔd.wɛn/ (BLOD-wen or BLOHD-wen).

Blodwynn is Welsh in Origin.

Blodwynn is a modern Anglicized elaboration of the Welsh name Blodwen/Blodwyn, built from blod “flower” and gwen/gwyn, the softened form of gwyn, “white, fair, blessed.” It therefore means “white flower” or “blessed flower.” In Welsh, -wen is feminine and -wyn masculine; the doubled -nn in Blodwynn mirrors English spellings like Gwynne and Wynn.

The root form Blodwen gained favor in 19th‑century Wales and was popularized by Joseph Parry’s 1878 opera Blodwen. Beyond Wales the name remains rare, now chosen in Celtic‑revival circles for its gentle, nature‑rich image. Variants and near-variants include Blodwen (f), Blodwyn (m/uni), Blodwin, and Blodwynne; related Welsh names sharing the gwen/’wen element include Gwen, Bronwen, and Arianwen. In contemporary use Blodwynn is typically feminine, though the -wyn form has historical masculine precedent in Welsh.
