Lyncoyn is English in Origin.

Lyncoyn is a rare modern respelling of the English surname-turned-given-name Lincoln, anchored in medieval spellings such as Lincoyn and Lyncoln. The place-name Lincoln comes from the Roman Lindum Colonia, itself from Brittonic lindon “pool, lake” (referring to the Brayford Pool) plus Latin colonia “settlement.” As a result, the name carries the sense “settlement by the lake/pool” or “lake colony,” and by extension “one from Lincoln.”

As a forename, the base form Lincoln emerged from the English surname and rose sharply in the United States in the 19th century through the legacy of President Abraham Lincoln, with renewed 21st-century popularity. Lyncoyn preserves an archaic flavor while feeling distinctive and modern; it remains extremely uncommon. Variants and related spellings include Lincoln, Lyncoln, Lincoyn, Lincon (esp. Brazilian Portuguese), and Linkon. Common short forms are Linc, Link, and Cole; usage today is largely masculine but sometimes unisex.
