OWAIN

Probably a Galés forma de EUGENE, though it might be derived from Galés eoghunn meaning youth. This was the name of several figures from Galés history and mythology. In Arthurian legend Owain (also called Yvain in Francés sources) was one of the Knights of the Round Table, the son of King Urien and husband of the Lady of the Fountain. His character was based on that of Owain ap Urien, a 6th-century Galés prince who fought against the Angles. This name was also borne by Owain Glyndwr, a 14th-century leader of Galés resistance against Inglés rule.
