Guinn is a root name among all the Celtic people. Ex. root name for clan Gunn Louise Guinn
The most likely derivation for anyone named Gwinn,is the Welsh word gwyn meaning white or fair. The Gaelic equivalent is fionn. Both gwyn and fionn have their roots in the proto-Celtic word?vindos. Gunn comes from a completely different word. However,this does not exclude mutations from other words. Such as a Quin becoming?a Gwinn. Or a Gunn becoming a Gwinn. The latter is not very likely, but it is possible. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Fri, 25 Apr 2008 10:54 am Subject: [GWIN] DNA - names Guinn is a root name among all the Celtic people.
