History & Origin
Summerlyn is a modern coinage. Summer, from Old English sumor, joined the ranks of given names in the twentieth century alongside Autumn and April; the -lyn ending arrived from Lynn and has since been used to extend dozens of names. The blend is contemporary and sunny in feel (said 'SUM-ur-lin').
It appears only very rarely for girls in the U.S. and is newly emerging. Rare, sunny, and thoroughly modern.
