This Welsh feminine name comes in many spellings, including Gwyneth, Gwenith, and Gwenneth. It is believed to derive from the place name Gwynedd, a medieval Welsh princedom and a modern Welsh county, but Gwenyth can also translate to “white” or “fair.” Parents might be most familiar with the name's Gwyneth variation, thanks to actress Gwyneth Paltrow and Welsh novelist Gwyneth Vaughan. This particular iteration of Gwenyth offers a familiar sound in a more unexpected spelling, making it very fitting for a little one who enjoys taking people by surprise!
