A person who gives rewards or compensation to others.
From 'guerdon' plus the agent suffix '-er', meaning 'one who guerdons'. This follows standard English word-building patterns for creating agent nouns.
A 'guerdoner' is essentially a rewarder—a word that emphasizes the giver's generosity rather than the transaction itself, which is why it rarely appears outside of archaic or poetic contexts.
