Gwyn is a female first name. In some cases it's also given to boys.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Gwyn in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Gwyn in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Gwyn by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Gwyn ranks at #9,841. That means there are 9,840 more common girls names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Gwyn.
The odds of living in the same statae as someone named Gwyn are about the same as meeting someone with blue eyes in the entire country – both odds are about 25 to 30 %. More precisely, the first name Gwyn is registered in 15 states, among which are California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois or Louisiana. In proportion to the female population, most women and girls with the first name Gwyn live in Michigan, and even there the name is rather special – only one in 128,301 would turn around if you called the name Gwyn across Michigan.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The letter G is quite rare as a first letter for girls' names: only 2.1% of all common girls' names in the US begin with a G. The most common first letters for girls' names are A and S, while U and X are the least common first letters of girls' names.
With four letters, the name Gwyn is shorter than most other given names. In fact, only 5.5% of all common first names in the US consist of exactly four letters. Just 1.2% of all first names are even shorter, while 93% consist of more than four letters. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long. There are no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
This means that if 2.1% of all girls' names begin with a G, this initial letter is less common than the other letters on average. Nevertheless, there are of course some names that begin with a G and are extremely popular, for example Grace, currently the most common girls' name with G.
If your name is Gwyn and someone asks after your name, you can of course just tell them what it is. But sometimes that isn't so easy - what if it's too loud, and you don't understand them well? Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
So that everyone really understands you when you have to spell the name Gwyn, you can simply say:

Windmill
Yoyo
