Lynfa is in Origin.

Lynfa is a modern Welsh feminine given name, pronounced LIN-va. Linguistically it combines the Welsh suffix -fa “place” with the root Lyn-, widely read as a reference to llyn “lake” (or, by folk-etymology, llwyn “grove”), yielding evocative senses such as “lakeside” or “place by the grove.” The name does not appear in medieval records; it surfaces in 20th‑century Wales amid the vogue for Lyn‑ names and remains rare outside Wales.

Usage skews local and modest, often as a middle name. Variants and spellings include Lynva and Linfa (rare); the double‑L forms Llynfa/Llwynfa exist in Welsh toponymy and house-names but are distinct. Short forms include Lyn. Related choices are Lynn and Lynette (from the Welsh Eluned/Luned), which helped normalize the Lyn‑ sound. Overall, Lynfa carries a gently nature‑inflected meaning and a clearly Welsh linguistic profile.
