Lincoyn is a modern, stylistic respelling of Lincoln, the English surname and given name taken from the cathedral city in the East Midlands. The place-name ultimately traces to Latin Lindum Colonia: Brittonic lindo “lake, pool” + Latin colonia “settlement,” yielding the meaning “settlement by the lake/pool.” Used as a surname since medieval England (spelled variously as Lincolne and Lyncoln) and adopted as a given name in the 19th century, it gained enduring prominence in the United States through President Abraham Lincoln.

Related forms and variants include Lincoln, Lyncoln, Linkoln; nicknames Linc and Link are common.
