Name Root:
(*windos / *gwindos > gwalch gwyn > GAWAIN) (*Ualcos Magesos)
Meaning:*
This name derives from the Proto-Celtic, Proto-Brythonic and Welsh articulated root: “*windos / *gwindos > gwalch gwyn > gawain.” It is the Late Medieval form of the name “Gawain,” which in turn is believed to have originated from the Welsh name “Walchgwn,” meaning “white hawk.” Kenneth Jackson suggested the name evolved from an early Common Brittonic name “*Ualcos Magesos,” meaning “Hawk of the plain.” Sir Gawain and the green knight is an epic poem connected with King Arthur’s roundtable. The form Gavin survived in Scotland and spread to other English-speaking countries in the 1960s. Gawain is King Arthur’s nephew and a knight of the round table in the Arthurian legend. Under the name Gwalchmei, he appears very early in the legend’s development, being mentioned in some of the earliest Welsh Arthurian sources.
