*WINDOS / *GWINDOS / GWYN > GWENAËL
Meaning:*
This name derives from the Proto-Celtic, Proto-Brythonic, and Breton “*windos / *gwindos / gwyn > Gwenaël,” meaning “blessed and generous, white, fair.” Saint Gwen Teirbron was a Breton holy woman and wife of Saint Fragan who supposedly lived in the 6th century. Her epithet is Welsh for ‘(of the) three breasts.’ Gwyn ap Nudd is a Welsh mythological figure, the king of the Tylwyth Teg or “fair folk” and ruler of the Welsh Otherworld, Annwn. Described as a great warrior with a “blackened face,” Gwyn is intimately associated with the otherworld in medieval Welsh literature and is associated with the international tradition of the Wild Hunt. Saint Winwaloe was the founder and first abbot of Landévennec Abbey (literally “Lann of Venec”), also known as the monastery of Winwaloe. It was just south of Brest in Brittany, now part of France.
