What is the meaning of the name Gwenyth ?

The baby name Gwenyth is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced Gwenyth: /ˈɡwɛnɪθ/ (GWEN-ith). Variant Gwyneth also commonly pronounced /ˈɡwɪnəθ/ (GWIN-eth)..

Gwenyth is Welsh in Origin.

Gwenyth is a Welsh-derived feminine given name, a spelling variant of Gwyneth. It ultimately traces to the Welsh root gwen/gwyn, meaning "white, fair, blessed," and is sometimes connected to the North Wales region name Gwynedd. The initial element gwen appears widely in Welsh names, lending a sense of brightness and good fortune; Gwenyth shares that semantic field of purity and blessing.

Used as a personal name from the late 19th century during the Welsh cultural revival, Gwenyth spread to the wider English-speaking world in the 20th century. The standard Welsh form is Gwyneth; other variants include Gweneth, Gwenith (rare; also the Welsh word for "wheat"), and Gwynyth. Diminutives Gwen and Winnie are common. Contemporary visibility owes much to actress Gwyneth Paltrow, which reinforced awareness of the name and its variant spellings. Gwenyth offers a softer, vintage feel while remaining recognizably Welsh.
