Scotlynn is a modern American blend that joins Scott or Scotland with the popular ending -lynn. Scott originally meant "a Scot" or "Gaelic speaker", while Lynn comes from the Welsh word for "lake", but the combination is a recent invention chosen for its sound. In the United States Scotlynn hovered around number 5000 in the 2010s, rose to number 2793 in 2024 and reached number 2094 among girls' names in 2025, its highest rank so far.
