Greetings Esteemed and Learned Heralds of An Tir,

My client would like the name Elena Gwenynwr.

Elena is found in the Academy of St. Gabriel, at:  http://www.s-gabriel.org/names/tangwystyl/welsh13.html

Gwenynwr is Welsh for Bee Keeper.  According to the above page, although women seldom use occupational names, it is found occasionally, so I believe this to be a period construction for a 13th C. Welsh woman.  Please correct me if I am wrong...

I did not find any conflicts with this name.

Lastly, can anyone possibly help me with the pronunciation of Gwenynwr?

YIS,

THL Dafydd Caerfyrddin

on a chief argent three Celtic crosses sable."
