Lincon is a streamlined modern spelling of Lincoln, an English surname-turned-given name taken from the cathedral city in Lincolnshire. The place-name traces to Latin Lindum Colonia - Lindum from a Brittonic word for “pool” or “lake,” plus colonia, “settlement/colony.” The usual meaning offered is “colony by the pool” or “settlement by the lake,” evoking a waterside hometown.

Used as a given name since the 19th century, it gained broad recognition through U.S. President Abraham Lincoln; contemporary popularity surged in the 2000s. The Lincon spelling remains uncommon in English-speaking countries but occurs occasionally, especially in Brazil and parts of Latin America. Standard and creative variants include Lincoln, Lyncoln, and the very rare Linkon. Short forms Linc and Link are familiar nicknames. While primarily masculine, the name has modest unisex usage today. Choosing Lincon preserves the dignified heritage of Lincoln while lending it a minimalist, modern look.
