Meaning & Origin

Lynkoln is a boy's baby name, a phonetic spelling variant of Lincoln, from Old English Lindo Colonia, meaning 'lake colony' — originally a Roman fortress city in England. Abraham Lincoln made the name synonymous with moral courage, equality, and American idealism.

The alternate spelling maintains all that presidential gravitas while adding a personal stamp — same lake colony roots, worn differently.
