According to The Etymologies (in volume V of The History of Middle-earth) the word gwind means 'pale blue'. This seems too close to Gwindor's name to be coincidence, but its significance - if indeed it has any - is not explained. Alternatively, Gwindor's name might contain a derivative of gwain, in which case his name would mean something like 'new lord' or 'young lord'.
