History & Origin

Zeplyn is a recent invention. It leans on the sound of zeppelin and on the -lyn ending that runs through Brooklyn, Jocelyn and Adalyn. There is no traditional meaning behind it, and the routes are uncertain, which we note (said 'ZEP-lin').

It appears only rarely in the U.S. Rare, inventive, and punchy.

Did you know? Zeplyn borrows the shape of zeppelin — the great airships named for Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin — and reworks it with a fashionable -lyn tail. It is a coinage, so routes are uncertain, which we note (said 'ZEP-lin').
