Meaning:White river
Colwyn is a charming Welsh name that mirrors the peaceful flow of a river returning to its source. It originates from a seaside town in Conwy, North Wales. Colwyn likely means "white river," drawing from the Welsh word gwen, meaning "white" or "fair," which is the same root found in names like Jennifer or, more authentically, Gwenhwyfar. Such a moniker beautifully honors Welsh heritage and is perfect for a little one born near water or destined to connect with the cleansing, calming properties of flowing water. Imagine one day visiting Colwyn Bay with your little one, exploring its sandy promenade and grassy hilltops while soaking in the vibrant blue hues of the Irish Sea.
