Guinevere

Guinevere is a feminine name of Welsh origin, derived from the elements 'gwen' meaning 'fair' or 'white' and 'mair' meaning 'smooth' or 'blessed'.

The name is closely associated with the legendary Queen Guinevere, the wife of King Arthur in Arthurian romance. The story of Guinevere and her love affair with Sir Lancelot is one of the central narratives of the Arthurian legends.

Despite its literary and mythological roots, the name Guinevere has been used as a given name for centuries, with its popularity peaking in the late 20th century.

The name is often spelled with various alternative spellings, such as Guenevere, Gwendolyn, or Gwenhwyfar, but Guinevere remains the most commonly used form.
