Selwyn

Selwyn is a stylish name commonly used for boys. While some consider it to be an English name, others believe the name to have Welsh, French, and Latin origins with a connection to the Roman language. 
In English, the meaning of Selwyn is 'good friend at house' or 'manor friend', in Anglo-Saxon, its meaning is 'friend at court', in Latin, the meaning is similar to that of English – 'house friend', and in Welsh, the meaning of the name is considered as 'ardor' or 'fair'. 
Those believing it to be an English name consider it to be a blend of the Middle English name Selewyne and the Old English name Seleƿine. Selepine is the combination of 'sele' which means 'hall' or 'house', and ƿine which means 'friend', or 'sea friend'. Many think Selwyn originated from the French word 'Salvagin', which means 'a wild person', primarily introduced as a joke for someone who was just the opposite of being wild during the Norman Conquest. Selwyn's Latin origin is also called 'Silvanus' or 'Salvin', the name of a Roman clan connected to the forest god. Some also believe Selwyn to be an anglicized form of Sullivan, an Irish surname.
