What is the meaning of the name Cerydwynn ?

Cerydwynn is Welsh in Origin.

Cerydwynn is a modern Welsh-inspired feminine name modeled on Ceridwen/Cerridwen, the mythic enchantress of medieval Welsh lore who brews the cauldron of awen (inspiration). Its second element echoes Welsh -wen, the soft-mutated feminine form of gwyn "white, fair, blessed"; the double-n -wynn is an English stylistic flourish, while -wyn is traditionally masculine in Welsh. The first element is debated; some link it to cerdd "poetry, song," yielding folk senses like "fair poetry" or "blessed inspiration," though strict etymology remains uncertain.

As a given name, Ceridwen appears in 12th-14th-century tales and was revived with 19th-century Celticism; usage has stayed rare but steady in Wales and scattered Anglophone communities. Cerydwynn belongs to late-20th-century creative spellings. Established variants include Ceridwen and Cerridwen; modern forms such as Cerydwen, Ceredwen, Keredwen, and the diminutive Ceri also appear. Nicknames: Ceri, Wynn, Wynnie.
