History & Origin

Lynnett is a variant of Lynette, itself an English form of the Welsh Eluned, connected to a word for 'idol' or 'image'. A bold Lynette features in the tales of King Arthur, and this doubled-consonant spelling is a modern American restyling that keeps the bright, two-beat sound.

It appears thinly in American records around the middle of the last century and reached its slim peak in the early nineteen-seventies. A girl named Lynnett then is in her early fifties today.

Did you know? Lynette rides on the Lynn family of names and an Arthurian heroine, and the doubled-n Lynnett is one of several mid-century respellings of that sound.
