Gweny is Welsh in Origin.
Gweny is a modern, playful diminutive derived from the Welsh-rooted cluster of names beginning with Gwen-, especially Gwen, Gwendolen/Gwendolyn, and Gwyneth/Gwenyth. Its core element is Welsh gwen (feminine of gwyn), meaning "white, fair," and by extension "blessed, holy." As a pet form, Gweny carries the affectionate sense of "little fair/blessed one," echoing centuries of Celtic usage while giving it a light, contemporary twist.
Names built on Gwen- have deep currency in Wales and Brittany, appearing in medieval saintly and aristocratic lineages and in Arthurian romance through Guinevere (from Welsh Gwenhwyfar). Related variants and cognates include Gwen, Gwennie/Gwenny, Gwendy, Gwendolen/Gwendolyn, Gwyneth/Gwenyth, Gwenna, Wenna, and Guinevere; broader cousins are Jennifer (via Cornish). Gweny itself is rare and informal, a friendly nickname-style given name with bright, Celtic clarity.
Gweny is about as rare as a name gets. In all, it appears just 6 times, across 5 countries.
