Lymen is in Origin.

Lymen is a contemporary variant of Lyman, an English surname adopted as a given name. Lyman traces to Old English leah ‘meadow, clearing’ + mann ‘person,’ yielding the meaning ‘meadow-dweller’ or ‘man of the meadow.’ Some modern users also note the echo of Latin limen ‘threshold,’ giving a symbolic reading of new beginnings, though this is a reinterpretation rather than the etymological source.

In the United States, the Lyman form saw most use in the 18th–early 20th centuries, borne by figures such as minister Lyman Beecher, author L. (Lyman) Frank Baum, and astrophysicist Lyman Spitzer. Lymen remains rare, offering a distinctive twist on a traditional base. Variants and near-forms include Lyman, Lymon, and, by sense rather than descent, Lehman/Lehmann. Meaning: ‘meadow-dweller’; stylistic associations: calm, pastoral, and quietly scholarly.
