Etymology/Origin
The name “Graigwen” is of Welsh origin, composed of graig (meaning “rock”) and wen (the soft mutation of gwen, meaning “white” or “blessed”). It is plausible that the name was chosen to reflect a geographical feature or cultural reference in Wales, a practice not uncommon for British merchant vessels.
