Noble friend or very fair
Arwyn is a Welsh name traditionally composed of the elements 'ara', meaning noble or fine, and 'gwyn', meaning white, fair, or blessed. While often associated with the literary name Arwen, Arwyn is a distinct Welsh variant that has historically been used for both genders but leans feminine in modern US usage. It carries a sense of ancient Celtic heritage and ethereal beauty.
