Your little chick will be flying high when they first hear their name, Gawayne. The Middle English version of Gavin, Gawayne is typically given to boys and has Welsh origins. According to Arthurian legend, Gawayne derives from Gwalchmai, meaning “hawk of the plain” or “hawk of May.” It has also been linked to Gwalchgwyn, which signifies “white hawk.” Whether your little birdie loves their time outside, arrives as the summer’s coming in, or has hair as fair as can be, Gawayne suits perfectly.
