Etymology
Gwendoline is a feminine given name, a variant of Gwendolen. The name is of Welsh origin, meaning "white, fair, blessed, and holy", while the spelling Gwendolen indicates a ring or bow.
Astraea is the Latinized form of the Greek Αστραια (Astraia), derived from Greek aster meaning "star". Astraea was the daughter of Astraeus, the god of the dusk, and Eos, the goddess of the dawn. She was a Greek goddess of justice and innocence. After wickedness took root in the world she left the earth and became the constellation Virgo.
The surname Mortan may have several meanings. It could be seen as a variant of the Scottish habitational name Morton, meaning from the farm near the moor. However, it is believed to be a surname of French origin, taken from the old French word morte meaning "death" or "to die".
