Guin Origin and Meaning

The name Guin is a girl's name meaning "white, fair, blessed".

Yet another member of the Gwyn/Gwen/Finn family of names ultimately deriving from a Celtic element meaning "white", Guin gets rare use in England and Wales; a notable bearer is Olympic-medal winning rower Guin Batten.

Guin could also be a nickname or shorter, sharper form of the elaborate Guinevere. There’s also a literary connection, thanks to the hugely influential American fantasy novelist Ursula K. Le Guin.
