Starlynn
Meaning of Starlynn
Starlynn, pronounced STAR-lin (/stɑr.lɪn/), is a modern American feminine name that blends the English word star with the suffix -lynn, the latter tracing back to Welsh llyn or Irish linn, meaning “lake” or “pool.” The combination produces a name that evokes both celestial imagery and gentle fluidity, a quality reinforced by its echo of Latin stella, or “star.” First recorded in U.S. birth data during the 1960s, Starlynn has maintained a steady presence on the Social Security Administration’s annual list, seeing modest peaks in the early 1990s and again in the 2010s. In 2024 the name ranked 934th, assigned to 16 newborn girls, a slight rise from its 943rd position in 2023. Although it has never cracked the top 500, consistent use among parents highlights its clear pronunciation and balanced structure. Its neutral yet evocative tone aligns with Latin-influenced naming trends that favor concise sounds and meaningful roots. For families seeking a name that marries luminous connotations with a nod to natural grace, Starlynn offers a contemporary option rooted in both sky and water.
