Lynne is a feminine name of English, Welsh, and Celtic origins. Deriving from the Welsh word llyn, Lynne translates to “lake” or “pool.” Although Lynne was all the rage throughout the 20th century, it has taken a recent decline, with -lynn becoming a popular suffix for a range of feminine names, including Aislynn, Madalynn, and Emmalynn.
