History & Origin
Riverlyn reads as a coined English name built from the nature word river plus the fashionable -lyn suffix, giving it the sense of 'riverbank'. It belongs to the modern wave of word-based names that take a familiar landscape term and shape it into something usable for a child.
The alternate spelling Riverlynn just doubles the final n without changing the sound. The river element keeps it grounded and outdoorsy, while the -lyn ending makes it flow like other contemporary -lyn names.
