Hollyn combines the Christmas- and nature-inspired feel of Holly, with the preppy, unisex style of Collins, all stung together with the globetrotter flair of Holland and the trendy -lyn ending of Gracelyn, Raelyn, and co. The name first appeared in the US stats back in the 70s,but remained obscure until the 2010s when it began trending upwards.
 
Possibly created as an elaboration or a smoosh form of Holly, Hollyn could combine the word name with the suffix -lyn, giving it the possible meanings of "holly by the lake" or "beautiful holly". Alternatively, it might be a spin on the recently popular place name Holland, or on the surname of the same spelling. Following the pattern of Scotlyn and Emersyn, the -lyn ending gives it a slightly more name-like feel. 
 
Given to around 160 girls in the US, Hollyn has more than doubled in use over the last decade, with parents possibly taking inspiration from singer Holly Wilson, who uses Hollyn as a stage name.
