Lynnetta Origin and Meaning

The name Lynnetta is a girl's name.

Lynnetta is a feminine name that evolved as an elaborated form of Lynn or Lynne, which themselves derive from the Welsh element 'llyn' meaning 'lake' or the Old English 'hlynn' meaning 'torrent.' This American variant gained modest popularity in the mid-20th century, particularly during the 1950s and 1960s when names with the '-etta' suffix were fashionable. Lynnetta offers the familiar nickname options of Lynn or Lynnie while providing a more distinctive full name. Though never reaching the top tiers of popularity charts, Lynnetta has maintained consistent, if limited, usage throughout the decades, appealing to parents seeking a melodic name with Welsh-English origins.
