Berwyn Origin and Meaning

The name Berwyn is a boy's name.

Berwyn is a masculine name of Welsh origin meaning 'fair' or 'blessed hill.' This distinctive name combines 'ber' (meaning hill or mound) with 'gwyn' (meaning white, fair, or blessed). Berwyn has strong connections to Welsh geography, as the Berwyn Range is a significant mountain range in northeastern Wales. The name carries a dignified, somewhat scholarly tone and evokes imagery of natural landscapes. Though uncommon outside Wales, Berwyn has maintained consistent, if limited, usage throughout the English-speaking world. The name's Celtic roots give it an appealingly distinctive quality while still being relatively straightforward to pronounce and spell for English speakers.
