It's curious.

What is the meaning of the guanche word "wen" or "wan"?

The semitic "Ben" means "son". And it is used regularly to name tribes.
For example, the Banu Marin (called in spanish Benimerines), the power that succeded the Almohades in Magreb, and the last important muslim threat to the christian spanish kingdoms in Middle Age.
