wynne Name Meaning and History

  1. English: variant spelling of Wynn.
  2. Welsh: variant of Gwynn.
  3. Irish (Connacht): adopted as an English equivalent of Gaelic Ó Gaoithin ‘descendant of Gaoithín’ (see Gahan), because Gaelic gaoth also means ‘wind’, and the English surname Wynne was taken as being related to the English vocabulary word wind.
