Olwynah is Welsh in Origin.

Olwynah is a modern elaboration of the Welsh name Olwen (and related Olwyn), built on an ornamental -ah ending popular in contemporary English naming. Olwen derives from Welsh ol “track, footprint” + gwen “white, blessed, fair,” yielding the poetic sense “white footprint/white track” - a reference to the medieval Welsh tale Culhwch and Olwen in the Mabinogion, where flowers sprang where the heroine trod. Olwyn exists in Welsh as a common noun meaning “wheel,” but as a given name it often echoes Olwen in sound and sentiment.

Usage of Olwynah is very rare and largely confined to modern Anglophone contexts, piggybacking on the Celtic revival that brought Olwen back into circulation in the late 19th–20th centuries; notable bearers include Olwen Brogan and Olwen Wymark (for the root form). Variants and related forms: Olwen, Olwyn, Olwena, Olwina, Olwenna, Alwen; diminutives include Wyn, Wynnie, and Ollie.
