History & Origin
Lynnetta is an elaboration of Lynette, capped with the ornamental -etta ending. Lynette reaches English through the Arthurian romances from the Welsh Eluned, often read as idol or icon, and was later felt as a Lynn name. Lynnetta appears in United States records from around nineteen-forty-one, peaked around nineteen-sixty-six, and stayed a rarity of a couple dozen girls a year.
A Lynnetta of that peak would be in her fifties now, and the name reads as a decorative mid-century spin on Lynette in the age of Lynn names. It never became common and has not revived, though the Lynn sound stays familiar.
