What is the meaning of the name Eirwena ?

Eirwena is Welsh in Origin.

Eirwena is a modern Welsh-derived feminine name, an elaboration of Eirwen by adding a Latinizing -a ending. Eirwen itself combines eira “snow” and gwen “white; blessed,” giving the serene meaning “snow-white” or “blessed as snow.” Thus Eirwena carries the same imagery of purity and winter brightness while sounding slightly more expansive and international.

While Eirwen and Eira gained visibility in Wales during the 20th-century Celtic revival, Eirwena remains very rare and is chiefly found in late-20th and 21st-century usage in the UK and beyond. Related forms include Eirwen (feminine), Eira (feminine), and Eirwyn (a masculine counterpart with -wyn). Diminutives such as Wen, Wenna, or Eira/Eiry are sometimes used. Some modern bearers also note a coincidental echo of Old Norse Eir, a healing goddess, though the Welsh etymology is the primary source.
