Welsh form of French Guinevere, the Arthurian legend name of Gwenhwyvach's sister, possibly composed of the elements gwen "fair, holy, white" and hwyfar "smooth, soft,"Â hence "white and smooth." There are other possibilities. It may come from Proto-Celtic *vindo-siabraid, GWENGWYVAR means "white phantom." Or, the names of the sisters may mean "Gwenhwy the Great" (Gwenhwy-vawr) and "Gwenhwy the Less" (Gwenhwy-vach). Gwenhwyvach and Gwenhwyvar did not get along well together; Triad 84 of the Culhwch states that the Battle of Camlann was caused by the enmity between the two sisters. Triad 53 lists the slap that Gwenhwyvach gave Gwenhwyvar as one of the "Three Harmful Blows of the Island of Britain." And Triad 54 describes how Mordred raided Arthur's court and threw Gwenhwyvar to the ground and beat her.Â
