Do you mean gwyneth?

I have tried to find the meaning, but all I get are various people called gwyneth or gwynn. The most famous being Gwyneth Paltrow.

Noun 1. Gwynn - English comedienne and mistress of Charles II (1650-1687)
Eleanor Gwyn, Eleanor Gwynn, Eleanor Gwynne, Gynne, Gywn, Nell Gwynn, Nell Gwynne, Nell Gywn
comedienne - a female actor in a comedy


The famous Nell Gwynn, stepping one day, from a house where she had made a short visit, into her coach, saw a great mob assembled, and her footman all bloody and dirty; the fellow, being asked by his mistress the reason of his being in that condition, answered, `I have been fighting, madam, with an impudent rascal who called your ladyship a whore.
