Oswyn is an ancient and unique name of Welsh origin, derived from the elements "os" meaning "god" and "win" meaning "friend". It was borne by several early Welsh saints, including Saint Oswiu who was a king of Northumbria in the 7th century. The name gained popularity during the medieval period and has since been used intermittently throughout history. Today, Oswyn is still considered a distinctive choice for parents looking for an uncommon yet historical name for their child.
