Lynh is Vietnamese in Origin.
Lynh is a Vietnamese given name spelling that reflects a diaspora-influenced variant of Linh, from Sino-Vietnamese linh (Chinese character 靈, Mandarin líng), carrying senses of "spirit," "soul," "sacred," and "nimble/clever." The name is unisex in Vietnam but trends feminine in modern use, valued for its gentle spirituality and auspicious overtones.
Use is well attested through the 20th and 21st centuries, often as the second element in compound names (Thùy Linh, Diệu Linh, Quỳnh Linh, Mai Linh) and increasingly as a standalone. The y in Lynh appears among Vietnamese abroad to cue English/French readers and to echo the look of Lynn, though the Vietnamese meaning remains that of Linh. Variants and related forms: Linh (standard Vietnamese), Lynh (stylized/Anglicized), Lynn/Lynne (phonetic analogs with separate English etymology), and less commonly Ling in sinicized contexts. The name’s core sense evokes alertness, blessing, and a touch of the numinous.
