Meaning & History

(female) Latinized form of a Saxon name of uncertain form and derivation. It is perhaps from Germanic hrōd ‘fame’ + wynn ‘joy’. It first occurs in the Latin chronicles of Geoffrey of Monmouth (12th century) as the name of a daughter of the Saxon invader Hengist, and was taken up by Sir Walter Scott as the name of a Saxon woman, Lady Rowena of Hargottstanstede, who marries the eponymous hero of his novel Ivanhoe (1819).
