Cerydwin is Welsh in Origin.

Cerydwin is a modern respelling of the Welsh feminine name Ceridwen/Cerridwen, borne by the renowned enchantress of medieval Welsh tradition, keeper of the cauldron of Awen (poetic inspiration). The name’s etymology is uncertain; scholars connect the final element -wen to Welsh gwen “white, blessed, fair,” while the first may relate either to cerdd “poetry, song” or to ceri “to love.” Hence interpretations range from “blessed/fair poetry” to “beloved and fair.”

Though the character is attested in medieval sources such as Hanes Taliesin, use of the name as a personal given name was uncommon until the 19th–20th‑century Celtic revival, after which it spread modestly beyond Wales, especially among lovers of Celtic lore and modern pagan circles. Variants include Cerridwen (most common), Ceridwen, Caridwen, and the creative forms Cerydwin/Kerridwen; short forms and nicknames include Ceri and Cari.
