Annalynn
Annalynn Origin and Meaning
Annalynn is a feminine compound name combining the classic Anna (from Hebrew Hannah, meaning 'grace' or 'favor') with Lynn (of Welsh origin meaning 'lake' or possibly Germanic meaning 'serpent'). This melodious blend creates a distinctive yet accessible name that emerged in the late 20th century as parents sought unique combinations of traditional elements. Though not among the most common names, Annalynn has maintained steady usage in the United States, particularly in the South and Midwest. The name carries the timeless elegance of Anna while the addition of Lynn gives it a contemporary flow. Many parents choose Annalynn as an alternative to more common combinations like Anna-Lee or Annalise.
