Cerydwynne is Welsh in Origin.
Cerydwynne is a modern, elaborated Welsh-derived feminine name, most likely a creative spelling of Ceridwen/Cerridwen. Linguistically it blends Ceri(d)- with -wynne, an Anglicized form of Welsh -wen/-wyn from gwen “white, fair, blessed.” Because -wyn is historically masculine and -wen feminine in Welsh, the Wynne ending reflects English influence rather than strict Welsh grammar. Many also hear Ceri as the Welsh element related to caru “to love,” adding a “beloved” nuance.
The root name Ceridwen belongs to the powerful enchantress of medieval Welsh tradition, guardian of the cauldron of Awen (poetic inspiration) and mother of Taliesin. In modern use it resurfaced with the Celtic Revival and is favored in mythic and neo‑pagan circles; the Cerydwynne form remains extremely rare. Variants include Ceridwen, Cerridwen, Cerydwen, Kerydwen, and Wynne/Wyn as clipped forms. Meaning is commonly glossed as “blessed inspiration/poetry” or “beloved and blessed.”
Cerydwynne turns up in none of the birth registries or name datasets we cover. It's the kind of name that tends to be rare, regional, or newly made up. Whichever it is, scarcely anyone else carries it.
