Kathlyn Origin and Meaning

The name Kathlyn is a girl's name meaning "pure + lake; pure + pretty".

Not Katelyn, not Kathryn, not Kathleen, but a blend of the three, Kathlyn might be considered a compound name, mixing Lynn and Katherine, which gets you the appealing meanings "pure lake" or "pure and pretty". Alternatively, it is simply a spin on Kathleen, itself a form of Katherine. Actress Kathlyn William and civil rights activist and judge Kathlyn Gilliam have been notable bearers.

2024 saw parents in the US take a renewed interest in the name, when it was given to 63 babies, seven times more than the previous year.
