Conlyn is Irish in Origin.

Conlyn is a modern given name with Irish roots, likely a stylized variant of the surnames Conlin, Conlan, or Conlon. Those surnames derive from Gaelic O Conallain/O Conlain, “descendant of Conallan,” a diminutive of Conall. The Old Irish Conall joins con “hound, wolf” with gal “valor, might,” yielding senses such as “little hound of valor” or, by patronymic sense, “descendant of the valiant one.”

The surname forms are recorded across medieval Ireland and, in the 19th–20th centuries, migrated with the Irish diaspora, where they occasionally became given names. Conlyn itself is rare and contemporary, appearing from the late 20th century and sometimes used unisex. Variants and related forms include Conlin, Conlan, Conlon, Conlynn, and Conlynne; deeper cognates are Conall and Connall.
