Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Meno je prvýkrát doložené v 12. storočí v diele Geoffreyho z Monmouthu ako meno legendárnej dcéry saského náčelníka Hengista. Jeho etymológia nie je spoľahlivo objasnená. Neisto sa spája so staroanglickými prvkami hrōð „sláva“ a wynn „radosť“, prípadne so starowaleskými prvkami ron „kopija“ a gwen „biela, požehnaná“. V novoveku ho spopularizoval Walter Scott románom Ivanhoe.
