A figure from Arthurian legend, an alternative name for the knight Gawain or Ywain in some medieval traditions.
From Old Welsh 'Owain' or similar Brythonic roots; the name appears in various spellings across Arthurian romance texts from different languages and time periods.
Arthurian names got scrambled across languages and centuries—'Ywain,' 'Owain,' and 'Aiwain' are essentially the same legendary knight filtered through Welsh, Norman French, and Middle English scribes who didn't always know what they were copying.
