Myrddyn - Myrlyn - Merlin?

The white crow - Gwynyffyr - guinevere?

This just gets more and more interesting.

I had no idea that there were more than one Gwynyffyr. But then, I didn't know it mean "white Lady." She almost sounds like a proto-goddess.

The Gwynyffyr, is an epithet for a Brythonic Battle Goddess, AERON, is Known from an altar found and her sacred rivers, the Aeronowy in Wales, the Aire in Scotland and Northumberland. Myrddyn is the Brythonic for Merlin.
