Dilwen Origin and Meaning

The name Dilwen is a girl's name.

Dilwen is a feminine Welsh name combining the elements 'dil,' meaning 'genuine' or 'true,' and 'gwen,' meaning 'white,' 'blessed,' or 'fair.' This creates a beautiful meaning along the lines of 'truly fair' or 'genuinely blessed.' As with many Welsh names, Dilwen has remained relatively uncommon outside Wales, giving it a distinctive quality while still being accessible in pronunciation. The name carries the melodic quality characteristic of Welsh names, with their lyrical flow. Dilwen offers a connection to Celtic heritage and Welsh culture while providing a unique alternative to more common Celtic names. Its gentle sound and positive meaning make it an appealing yet distinctive choice.
