Gwarae Golden Hair

One of Arthur’s warriors in Welsh legend who accompanies Arthur on the search for the two dogs of Glythvyr Ledewig.

The name must be closely related with Gwri Golden Hair, a name given to the infant Pryderi in the non-Arthurian Welsh story of Pwyll. He is probably also connected with Gwrfan Wild Hair.

In Welsh, "golden hair" is gwallt-euryn, which R. S. Loomis suggests as the origin of the name Gawain.
