Gemma-Lynne is Italian, Welsh in Origin.

Gemma-Lynne blends an Italian and a Celtic-English heritage. Gemma derives from Latin gemma, "gem; precious stone" (also "bud"), long used in medieval Italy and revived internationally; in Britain it rose sharply in the late 20th century, helped by increased familiarity with the Italian saint Gemma Galgani and by contemporary media. Lynne is a softened spelling of Lynn, from Welsh llyn, "lake," widely given in the mid-1900s across the UK, Ireland, the U.S., and Canada.

As a hyphenated modern compound, Gemma-Lynne fits the recent Anglophone fashion for double-barrelled girls' names. The combined meaning evokes "precious jewel by the lake." Variants include Gemma Lynne (unhyphenated), Gemma-Lynn, Jemma-Lynne, Jemma-Lynn, and Gema-Lynne; compressed forms like Gemmalyn or Gemmalynn also appear. Common nicknames are Gem, Jem, and Lynnie. Usage remains uncommon but recognizable in the UK, Australia, and Canada, and rarer in Italian contexts.
