The word "Gowden" is a Scots variant of the word "golden". The etymology of "golden" can be traced back to the Old English word "goldǣn" or "gylden", derived from the Proto-Germanic term "gulþinaz". This, in turn, originated from the Proto-Indo-European root "*ghel", meaning "yellow" or "gleaming". Over time, the word evolved in different languages and variations, eventually leading to "golden" in English and "gowden" in Scots.
