History & Origin
Rubylynn is a fused double name: Ruby, from Latin rubeus ('red') by way of the gemstone, plus Lynn, from Welsh llyn, 'lake.' Sewn-together names like this took root in the American South and Midwest, where a first and middle name were often spoken and eventually written as one (said 'ROO-bee-lin').
It appears only rarely for girls in the U.S., riding the broader revival of Ruby. Rare, country-warm, and sweet.
