Benowen
"Celtic · Place"
Why Benowen?
"Ben" means mountain, and "Owen" may derive from a word meaning "youth" or "well-born." Benowen suggests a "young mountain" or "noble peak," evoking a strong, newly-formed hill with a bold and promising presence.
For a brave and bold mare, Benowen is a perfect match. It denotes a courageous heart, a strong-willed nature, and the noble spirit of a fearless competitor who approaches every challenge with fresh vigor.
A brave grey / white mare who commands attention — the kind of horse that turns heads before even starting to move.
