Morwenna Name Meaning, Origin & Pronunciation

Morwenna means maiden. From Cornish morwyn, meaning maiden, linked to a Cornish saint

Morwenna is a Cornish name that comes from the Cornish word morwyn, meaning maiden, and it is also the name of a female saint honoured in Cornwall, Saint Morwenna, who gave her name to the parish of Morwenstow on the north Cornish coast. In recent decades it has been taken up by families in Cornwall and beyond who enjoy the revival of the Cornish language. The name has a flowing, three-syllable rhythm with a soft ending. Because of the sea sound in the first syllable, many hear a link to mor, meaning sea, which is a pleasant coincidence.
