Meaning of Summerlynn

Summerlynn is an Anglo-American feminine given name, etymologically formed by the conjunction of the Old English summor (“summer”) and the Welsh llyn (“lake” or “waterfall”), each element contributing semantic fields of seasonal warmth and aqueous calm. The resulting compound denotes an appellation that entails associations with the midyear season’s extended daylight and the steady presence of flowing water. In contemporary English pronunciation, the name is rendered /ˈsʌmərlɪn/, and in the United States it has appeared intermittently within the Social Security Administration’s annual top-1000 since its first entry in 1997 (rank 862), fluctuating between rank 981 and rank 897 in the early 2000s and most recently registering seven occurrences at rank 951 in 2023. This distribution reflects a stable yet infrequent adoption rate, positioning Summerlynn as a distinctive choice consonant with modern trends favoring compound names with clear etymological lineage.
