The town's unusual name is taken from the names of its two neighboring cities, Guin and Winfield. "Gu-Win" and "Guin" are not the same, though the pronunciation is virtually the same, leading to occasional confusion by visitors.

History
The area Gu-Win occupies is between Guin and Winfield. Until the 1950s, it was known as "Ear Gap". Not wanting to be annexed into Guin or Winfield, it pursued incorporation for itself, and chose the name of the local drive-in theater, "Gu-Win".[1] As of 2019, the theater still operates, but has been renamed the Blue Moon.[4]
