Lynk is a modern English given name that re-spells Link while echoing Lynx. Its core sense comes from the English noun link, ultimately from Old Norse hlekkr and Old English hlenc, meaning a chain ring or connection; thus the name carries meanings like bond, bridge, and connector. The y gives a contemporary feel and invites secondary imagery from the lynx, long associated with sharp vision and agility (via Greek lynx, related to the Indo-European root for light).

As a given name, Lynk has surfaced in North America in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, often chosen for its tech-forward vibe and pop-culture resonance with Link as a character name. It remains rare and generally unisex, with a slight skew toward boys. Variants and related forms include Link, Linc (as a short form of Lincoln), Lynx, Linka (Slavic diminutive), and surnames Linke or Linck.
