      • Charlynn

        • Description:

          Charlynn is a feminine name that blends the classic name Charlotte with the popular '-lynn' suffix, creating a melodic and distinctive variation. Likely originating as a modern American coinage in the mid-20th century, Charlynn combines the Germanic elements of Charlotte (meaning 'free woman' or 'feminine form of Charles') with 'lynn,' which derives from the Welsh element meaning 'lake' or 'waterfall.' This combination creates a name that feels both traditional and contemporary. Charlynn gained modest popularity during the 1950s-1970s when combination names and creative spellings became fashionable. While never reaching mainstream popularity, Charlynn appeals to parents seeking a unique twist on the more common Charlotte or Carolyn. Various spelling alternatives include Charlyn, Charline, or Charlynne, each maintaining the melodic quality and feminine charm of the original.
