Gwennan Origin and Meaning
The name Gwennan is a girl's name meaning "white, fair, blessed stream".
A rugged and rare alternative to Gwen, Gwyneth, and Gwendolyn, Gwennan derives from the Welsh gwen meaning "white, blessed" and nant meaning "stream". A nature name with a familiar sound, it was borne by one of the daughters of the legendary Welsh king Brychan Brycheiniog. Footballer Gwennan Harries, rugby play Gwennan Hopkins, and harp player Gwenan Gibbard are notable bearers.
