What Does the Name Wynslow Mean?
Wynslow is a spelling variant of Winslow, an English surname and given name meaning "Wine's hill," from the Buckinghamshire place name Winslow. The place name comes from Old English Wine, a personal name, and hlāw, "hill" or "mound," often a burial mound. The literal sense is "Wine's hill" or "Wine's mound." Wine is usually connected with Old English wine, "friend," so the name is sometimes glossed "friend's hill"; that is a customary interpretation rather than a separate etymology. The y in Wynslow is a respelling of the i in Winslow, not a different Old English element.
Wynslow Name History & Origins
The Buckinghamshire place name is Old English in form, combining the personal name Wine with hlāw, a hill or mound. The English surname Winslow developed from that place name and belongs to a group of surnames taken from English towns and villages. It was established in England by the later Middle Ages and was carried to New England in the 17th century by the Winslow family, including Edward Winslow, a Mayflower passenger and governor of Plymouth Colony. Winslow has also been used as an English given name, as in the American painter Winslow Homer. Wynslow is an altered spelling of that surname-derived name, with y replacing i; it does not come from a separate place or language.
