Gwin is an uncommon yet distinctive given name of Welsh origin. It's derived from the Welsh word 'gwyn,' which means 'white' or 'fair.' This name has been traditionally used for both boys and girls, but its usage has waned over time. Gwin was more prevalent in the late 19th to mid-20th centuries, with a small handful of individuals bearing this name recorded annually during these periods.
"Gwin was quite popular among parents between 1916 and 1954, with peak years being 1943 (11 births) and 1944 (8 births)."
