History & Origin

Lynise is a scarce mid-century girls' name, best understood as a variant of Denise or a blend on the popular Lyn- element. Denise, its likely anchor, is the French feminine of Denis, from the Greek Dionysos. Given quietly in the nineteen-fifties and sixties, Lynise has a soft, streamlined sound, and its meaning follows Denise's ancient root.

Lynise was always rare, given to only about twenty girls a year at its peak around 1963, with only thin use otherwise. A woman named Lynise then is in her early sixties today.
