Scottlyn gives the once widely-used Scott a new lease of life, by blending it with the trendy -lyn suffix. Currently given to nearly 70 girls each year, when considered alongside its other spelling variants — Scottlynn, Scotyln, and Scotlynn — it begins to feel like a name in the Top 1000. Throw unexpectedly popular Scottie into the mix and Scottlyn and co. feel like familiar, on-trend choices. 
 
Scott comes from Scoti, the Latin word for a Gaelic speaker, now used more generally for someone from Scotland. If Scottlynn is seen as a variation of Scotland then, it means "land of the Scots", whereas if it's considered a combination of Scott and the suffix -lyn, it could mean "Scottish lake", or "beautiful Scotland".
 
Scottlyn could work as an honor for a Scott or for someone with Scottish heritage — and as a full name for nicknames Scottie and Scout. Having more than tripled in use the last decade, Scottlyn might be heard on the playground more often in coming years.
