Owain

Gender: Masculine
Usage: Welsh, Welsh Mythology, Arthurian Romance

Meaning

Probably a Welsh form of Eugene, though other theories connect it to Welsh eoghunn meaning “youth”. This was the name of several figures from Welsh history and mythology. In Arthurian legend Owain (also called Yvain in French sources) was one of the Knights of the Round Table, the son of King Urien and husband of the Lady of the Fountain. His character was based on that of Owain ap Urien, a 6th-century Welsh prince who fought against the Angles. This name was also borne by Owain Glyndwr, a 14th-century leader of Welsh resistance against English rule.
