Winnie or Winny ( WIN-ee) is both a male and a female given name of Welsh origin, a short form (hypocorism) of Edwina, Winona, Winifred or Winnifred, Winter, Gwendolyn, Guinevere (Welsh), Gwyneth (Welsh), and Wynne (Welsh). The name's meaning is: fair one, white and smooth, soft, happiness, or fair and pure. The popularity of the name Winnie steadily declined among American women in the 20th century, but in the 1990 US Census, still ranked 699th of 4276. It is also a male name from Cambodia (meaning bright), and a short form of the male English given name Winston. It can also derive from many other names ending in -win such as Edwin, Darwin, etc., or be a nickname for the Welsh name Wyn.
