Rowena Meaning and Origin

Rowena is a female given name with Old English and Welsh origins. The name is composed of two parts: “hrod” meaning “fame” or “glory,” and “wen” meaning “white” or “fair.” Rowena is also known as a literary name, as it was featured in Sir Walter Scott’s novel “Ivanhoe” as the name of the beautiful Saxon princess. This usage helped popularize the name in the 19th century and beyond. The name Rowena is a powerful choice for the new bundle of joy. We love Winnie for a nickname choice.
