The Story of Wynnie
Wynnie is a variant spelling of Winnie, a diminutive of Welsh names like Winifred (from Welsh Gwenfrewi, meaning blessed reconciliation or holy peace) or Gwyn (meaning fair, white, or blessed in Welsh). The Wyn/Gwyn root is one of the most ancient and productive in Welsh naming.
