A certain Cynedd ap Gwen was registered in January of 1985 (via the East) - too long ago to be any use as a precedent. LoAR doesn't say much.

Not found on the: Database of Medieval Names, Dictionary of Medieval Names from European Sources, OSCAR, heraldry.sca.org Google search, St. Gabriel Google search.

Also no luck at Celtic Personal Names of Roman Britain - https://www.asnc.cam.ac.uk/personalnames/element.php (closest is Cenacus from keno- ).

The First Thousand Years of British Names doesn't have Cynnedd per Google search, but it will take awhile to browse to see if there are possible similar forms - https://www.s-gabriel.org/names/tangwystyl/british1000/

A similar name:

• Gwen verch Cynwrig de Insula Mona. Registered name change from holding name Gwen of Elfsea.
  • Cynwrig is documented as a modern form of a name documented to 1292-3 as Kenuric and Kenneric. In this case, the name remained in use until the end of our period and beyond, according to Morgan and Morgan, s.n. Cynwrig. While the most typical forms found before 1600 start with K-, the modern form is plausible as a rare c. 1600 spelling, as examples with all the modern features can be found at that time.
