Dilwen

Dilwen is a Welsh feminine given name, derived as the feminine form of Dilwyn. Both names are modern creations from the late 19th century, part of a revival of Welsh-language names. The root name Dilwyn combines the Welsh elements dilys (meaning "genuine, sincere") and gwyn (meaning "white, fair, blessed"). Thus, Dilwen may be interpreted as "blessed genuineness" or a similar compound virtue. While Dilwen is not widespread internationally, it remains in use among Welsh-speaking communities and those honoring Welsh heritage.
