Swithun Name Details

Swithun is an Old English name derived from the Old Norse name Sveinn, meaning 'young man' or 'servant'. It originated from Saint Swithun, an Anglo-Saxon bishop of Winchester in the 9th century, who was known for his generosity and miracles. Swithun's name became associated with weather folklore, as his feast day on July 15th was believed to predict the weather for the following forty days. The name Swithun gained popularity in medieval times but gradually declined in usage over the centuries.
