There have been two baronetcies created for persons with the surname Wynn, with the Gwydir family in the Baronetage of England and the Bodvean family in the Baronetage of Great Britain. The surname 'Wynn' is derived from Welsh: white (or also blessed). The family name Wynn originates from North Wales. The first mention of the Wynn family of Gwydir was used by the children of Maredudd ap Ifan (died 1525), and subsequently adopted as a surname by Maerdudd's grandchildren, including Maurice Wynn (died 1580), ancestor of the Wynn's of Gwydir. Whereas the Wynns of Bodvean (subsequently Baron Newborough) descended from John Wyn ap Hugh (John Wynne, died 1576).
