History & Origin
Leelynn is a modern American coinage joining two familiar pieces. Lee is an English surname and given name from Old English leah, 'wood, clearing, meadow,' long used for both sexes; -lynn is the ending that runs through Raelynn, Brooklynn and Jaelynn, itself a descendant of Lynn and Linda. Put together they make a soft, current-sounding name with no older recorded history of its own (said 'LEE-lin').
It appears only in very small numbers in the U.S. Rare, soft, and newly emerging.
