Owain (Welsh pronunciation:) is a name of Welsh origin, variously written in Old Welsh as Ougein, Eugein, Euguen, Iguein, Ou(u)ein, Eug(u)ein, Yuein, and in Middle Welsh as Ewein, Owein, and Ywein. Other variants of the name Owain include Ewein, Iguein, Owein, Ouein, Ywen, Ywein, Ywain , Yuein, and Yvain.
The Modern Irish form of the name is Eoghan (pronounced ['oː(ə)nˠ]). In Scottish Gaelic, the name is Eòghann or Eòghan. All of the above are often anglicised as Euan, Ewan, Ewen or, less often, Owen. The name in both Goidelic languages is generally considered a derivative of the Greek and Latin name Eugenes, meaning "noble born". [1] [2] [3]
