Meaning
Possibly from cyrrid "bent, crooked" (a derivative of Old
Welsh cwrr "corner") combined with ben "woman" or gwen "white, blessed". According to the medieval
Welsh legend the
Tale of
Taliesin (recorded by
Elis Gruffyd in the 16th century) this was the name of a sorceress who created a potion that would grant wisdom to her son Morfan. The potion was instead consumed by her servant
Gwion Bach, who was subsequently reborn as the renowned bard
Taliesin.This name appears briefly in a poem in the
Black Book of Carmarthen in the form Kyrridven [1] and in a poem in the Book of
Taliesin in the form Kerrituen [2]. Some theories connect her to an otherwise unattested
Celtic goddess of inspiration, and suppose her name is related to
Welsh cerdd "poetry".
