Related names
Seren
Welsh · “Derived from the Welsh word "seren" meaning "star". It is one of the most popular Welsh girls' names of the modern era, combining beautiful simplicity with deep cultural rootedness. The star has long been a symbol of guidance, constancy, and aspiration in Welsh and broader Celtic tradition, and the name carries these qualities naturally.”
Elowen
Cornish · “Derived from the Cornish word "elowen" meaning "elm tree". The elm was associated in Celtic mythology with strength, endurance, and connectivity between worlds, as its roots run as deep as its branches reach high. Elowen is one of the most recognisable distinctly Cornish names, reflecting the Brythonic linguistic heritage that Cornish shares with Welsh and Breton.”
Morwenna
Cornish · “Derived from the Old Welsh or Cornish elements, probably from "mor" meaning "sea" or "maiden" combined with a suffix suggesting "woman" — giving the meaning "maiden" or "sea maiden". An early Cornish saint named Morwenna gave her name to the parish of Morwenstow in north Cornwall, and she is also venerated in Wales. The name has been used continuously in the Celtic west since the medieval period.”
Lowenna
Cornish · “Derived from the Cornish word "lowena" meaning "joy" or "happiness". It is one of the most directly positive of the Cornish names, expressing pure delight in existence. The name reflects the Cornish Celtic tradition of drawing names from simple, beautiful concepts in the natural emotional world, and it has seen a revival in the 21st century alongside broader interest in Cornish language and identity.”
Gwenno
Welsh · “Welsh and Cornish diminutive of "Gwen" meaning "white", "blessed", or "fair" — giving the affectionate meaning "little white one" or "little blessed one". Gwenno is used in both Welsh and Cornish traditions as an endearing, intimate form of the many "gwen" names (Gwenllian, Gweneth, etc.). It has a gentle, approachable quality while retaining the essential blessing of its root.”
