Origin of the name "Guinn"
The name Guinn goes back to Wales to the Gwydir Castle. The names of
Gwin, Gwinn, Gwyn, Gwynn, Gwynne, Guin, Guinn, Wynn, Wynne are all
derivitates of the original name of Gwynedd. The earliest known "Gwin"
who came to America was Capt. Owin Gwynn, Esq. son of Sir John Wynn of
the Wynn family of the Gwydir Castle, Wales in 1611. His son Col. Hugh
Gwynne was the first to permanently settle in the US. (Owin returned
to Gwydir Castle when his father died to succeed to the baronetcy.)
