Gwen is a girl's name of Welsh origin, meaning "white circle, " "fair, " or "blessed. " Originally a short form of names like Gwendolen and Gwendolyn, it has evolved to stand on its own. The name gained popularity in the 2010s, thanks in part to the influence of singer Gwen Stefani. Gwen has been used in various cultural contexts, symbolizing purity and holiness. Its versatility and timeless charm have made it a popular choice for parents. Gwen was absent from the US Top 1000 for over 30 years before reappearing in 2013. It has since maintained a steady presence, currently ranking #815 in U. Births and #610 in The Bump's girl names list. It represents a blend of ancient Welsh heritage and modern appeal, making it a unique and meaningful choice for parents.
