Cerdwin is in Origin.

Cerdwin is a rare Anglicized shortening of the Welsh name Ceridwen/Cerridwen, borne by the famed enchantress of medieval Welsh lore who brews the cauldron of Awen (inspiration) in the Taliesin legend. The elements are widely analyzed as cerdd “poetry, song” + gwen/wyn “white, blessed, fair,” giving senses like “blessed poetry” or “fair as a poem.” The -win ending here mirrors English spelling while echoing the Welsh -wen/-wyn pair.

As a given name, forms of Ceridwen revived during the 19th‑century Celtic cultural renaissance and have remained uncommon; Cerdwin itself is a very modern, extremely rare variant chosen for simplified spelling and pronunciation. Established variants include Ceridwen, Cerridwen, and Keridwen; short forms Ceri/Keri and Winnie/Wyn appear in use. Most bearers are female, though this spelling can read unisex. The name evokes creativity, inspiration, and a quietly luminous grace.
