Gwendaline is a girl's name of Welsh origin and a form of Gwendolen. This magical appellation sounds plucked from a fairytale, flaunting strong ties to Welsh mythology. Meaning “fair bow” or “blessed ring,” Gwendaline shares the same root as Gwyn, a name borne by Gwyn Ap Nudd—the ancient king of the Tylwyth Teg, meaning the "fair folk," and leader of the Wild Hunt. Gwendolen is also the name of a legendary queen of ancient Britain, believed to rule during the 11th century. Gwendaline’s feminine chime is backed by centuries of fierce bravery—perfect for a baby rosebud not afraid of embracing their thorns.
