Pronunciation of Alwyn in Darwin, Australia

This is my brother's name; it's Welsh and is taken from the name of a river in Wales. As such, its correct pronunciation is below, and not 'AL-win' ('al' as in 'Al Pacino' and 'win' as in 'to win a game') as so many people are wont to say.

AUHL-win

'auhl' is said the same as the word 'all' and rhymes with 'ball'
'win' is said the same as the word 'win' in 'to WIN a game'

Gender:

Taken from the name of a Welsh river

Additional Information:

It is NOT pronounced 'AL-win', as if you were about to say 'Al Pacino' and simply tacked 'win' onto the end of 'Al'.
