From Modern American

Rowyn means little red-haired one or rowan tree — the YN-ending variant of Rowan, from the Irish Gaelic ruadh (red). The rowan tree is sacred in Celtic mythology — it protects against witchcraft. The YN-ending feminises the name. Same Celtic-sacred-tree heritage, same red-haired charm, YN-feminised calligraphy.
