Like many names ending in -lynn, it fits a contemporary American style that favors melodic, feminized sound combinations over historical etymology.
Brylynn is a modern coinage, first recorded in the United States in 2003. It appears to be formed from the initial sound Bry- (possibly inspired by names like Bryce or Bryn) combined with the fashionable feminine suffix -lynn (from names like Lynn or Evelyn). Such blends have become common in American naming trends since the late 20th century.
