Lynne is English in Origin.
Lynne is an English feminine given name and a variant spelling of Lynn, which began as a medieval surname and place-name tied to towns such as King's Lynn in Norfolk. Its core meaning comes from Brittonic/Welsh llyn "lake" and Gaelic linne "pool, waterfall," though in given-name use it also served as a clipped form of names ending in -lyn, including Evelyn, Carolyn, Marilyn, Rosalyn, and Gwendolyn. The final e is an ornamental Anglicized flourish.
In Britain, the United States, and Canada, Lynne entered steady use by the early 20th century and rose sharply in the 1950s-70s, often appearing as a middle name or in double forms (e.g., Lynne Marie). While Lynn is historically unisex, Lynne is overwhelmingly feminine. Common variants and related forms include Lynn, Lyn, Linn; Lynette/Lynnette (influenced by Welsh Eluned), Lynna, and Lynley, with Lynnie as an affectionate diminutive.
