Etymology of SWAYN

The word "swayn" comes from the Old English word "swēn", which eventually evolved into "swain" in Middle English. The Old English term referred to a young man or a servant. In Middle English, "swain" developed various meanings, such as a young lover, a countryman, or a servant. The word can also be traced back to the Old Norse word "sveinn", meaning servant or lad. Ultimately, both "swēn" and "sveinn" have Germanic origins, with possible connections to Proto-Germanic and Proto-Indo-European roots.
