I know it’s a boys name in Welsh but for a girl? Or perhaps spelt like Arwen LOTR?

It has such a pretty sound.

I’ve never met an Arwyn/Arwen in real life but I think it’s a beautiful name.

Arwen is a Welsh girls name

I don't think it technically is, my understanding was it was influenced by Welsh for the LOTR character but isn't technically welsh, OP would basically be giving a LOTR name.

Arwen is a Welsh girls name.
Also love bronwyn suggested above.
Have you heard the name Arianwen? Rhianwen?

I vote Anwen too.
Don’t give your DD a boys name.

My old headmaster’s name. Definitely a man’s name.. Not remotely feminine. Just unkind to give it to a girl, and quite unnecessary when there are so many lovely girls names.

personally don’t like it, think it’s very harsh. something similar may be bronwyn

Have you thought of Anwen if you're wanting a welsh girls' name? Arwyn is very masculine to me.
