It has French and English roots, with Lynn deriving from the Welsh word 'llyn' meaning 'lake' or possibly from the Old English element 'lind' meaning 'soft, tender.' The name gained significant popularity in the United States during the 1940s and 1950s, reaching its peak in the early 1960s. Lynnette has a delicate, graceful quality with its soft consonants and French-influenced ending. The name conveys a classic femininity while avoiding overuse.

The spelling variation Lynette (with one 'n') is also used, but the double-n version has historically been more popular.
