Meaning & Origin
Linkoln is a boy's baby name of Old English origin, a creative spelling variant of Lincoln, from the Roman-British city of Lindum meaning 'lake colony' — from the Celtic lindo (lake) and Latin colonia. As a given name, Lincoln is most powerfully associated with Abraham Lincoln, the 16th U.S. president.
Linkoln takes the presidential heritage of Lincoln and gives it an unconventional spelling that stands out visually while keeping the name's sound and associations completely intact. With nearly 590 recorded births, it has found an audience among parents who want the Lincoln legacy — honesty, leadership, historical gravity — in a form that feels distinctive on a birth certificate.
