Rowynah is in Origin.

Rowynah is a modern feminine given name, likely a creative blend of Rowan and Rowena with an -ah flourish. It draws on Irish/Scottish Gaelic Rowan (the rowan tree; from Ruadhán, “little red(-haired) one”) and on Old English–Germanic Rowena, often parsed from hrod “fame” + wynn/wine “joy, friend.” Together, Rowynah conveys senses from “rowan tree; little red one” to “renowned joy” or “famous friend,” pairing nature with legend.

Rowynah is rare in contemporary English-speaking use, mirroring the 21st-century taste for -ah endings. Its forebears are older: Rowena appears in Geoffrey of Monmouth’s 12th-century chronicle and revived in the 1800s; Rowan spread as a unisex nature name in the late 20th century. Variant forms and relatives include Rowena, Rowenna, Rowina, Rowyna, Rowynn, Rowynna, and Rowanah; short forms Rowy, Ro, Wyn, and Winnie.
