GWENEVER. From
Welsh Gwenhwyvar (q.v.), meaning
"swelling white wave," the name of King Arthur's queen.
Other forms include Guinever,
Guenever, and Guenevere.
The
staunchest supporters of Arthur's existence give him three wives;
indeed, the Triads mention together—"The
three fair ladies of Arthur's court, / The three wives of
Arthur." One of them was she who was stolen by Maelgwn, the
origin of Lancelot, and she it is who is the dame of romance. (History
of Christian Names, Yonge, 1884)
