Gwenyth (female)

Diminutive(s):Gwen (F)
Derivative of:Gwynedd (M)
Can be spelt:Gwyneth (F)
   
Source(s): The Oxford Names Companion, OUP
Notes: Welsh, a spelling variant of Gwyneth, derived from the male forename from the region of that name in north Wales.

It is possible that the name may have been derived from "wheat", a poetic pet name for "a favourite".
