Origin: Welsh
Meaning: happiness; white, fair
Baby will put a smile on your face in more ways than one with this familiar Welsh name. Gwyneth is derived from the word gwynaeth, which means "happiness." It might also be inspired by the place name Gwynedd, with gwen meaning "white" or "fair." This name is probably most recognisable thanks to Oscar-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow, but it's also been given a fantastical edge with priestess Gwyneth Berdara from the A Court of Thorns and Roses book series. Encourage baby Gwyneth to be a friend to those around her and add some joy to their days.
