Default Word search challenge

I am looking for help on the best translation of a word used from the fifteenth to the nineteenth centuries in Welsh religious poetry: "Goreudduw."

The word "duw" translates as "God" and I am quite sure it is a compound noun (which is common in Welsh). The only translation I have found is "Christ immaculate," which I am fairly sure is off base.

I have a very speculative guess, but I am going to hold that back for now. If anyone can help me, I would be very grateful.

Thanks!
