There have been two baronetcies created for persons with the same surname - Wynn, these baronetcies descended from north Wales.
Firstly the Gwydir family was in the List of baronetcies in the Baronetage of England, and secondly, the Bodvean family evolved from the Baronetage of Great Britain.
The surname 'Wynn' is derived from Welsh: white (or also blessed).[1] 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).
An example of intermarriages between both Wynn families was John Bodvel (1617–1663). Bodvel was a grandchild of Sir John Wynn, 1st Baronet of Gwydir, and also Hugh Gwyn's (died 1611) great-grandchild, Gwyn being one of John Wynne of Bodvean's (died 1576) children.[2]
