Guinevere is a female name of Welsh origin, meaning "White Ghost" or "Phantom." In Welsh, the original form of the name is Gwenhwyfar, which could be translated as "The White Fay/Ghost." The name may also derive from "Gwenhwy-fawr," meaning "Gwenhwy the Great." As a prominent figure in Arthurian legend, Guinevere was the wife of King Arthur and is known for her tragic love affair with Lancelot. In modern literature, her character is often depicted in her illicit relationship with Lancelot as defining her personality. Guinevere's portrayal in various adaptations of the legend has varied, with some modern interpretations presenting her as a manipulated figure in her affair with Lancelot, while others cast her as a more active and complex protagonist.
