Gwendolain Williams (Burton) Davis

My Father's mother, Gwendolain Williams Burton, had a uniquely Welsh/English name, though the spelling was slightly different and was even noted in some records as Gwendolyn and Gwendoline. In any event, the name's origins are interesting as noted below:

GWENDOLEN
Gender: Feminine
Usage: Welsh/English
Pronounced: GWEN-do-len (English)
Means "white ring", derived from the Welsh elements gwen "white, fair, blessed" and dolen "ring".
