The name Mylynn is a recent invention, first recorded in U.S. data in 1992. It appears to be a blend of the fashionable prefix 'My-' (found in names like Mya and Mylie) with the widely used diminutive suffix '-lynn', which itself derives from the Welsh word for 'lake' but has become a common feminine ending in American naming. No deeper historical or linguistic roots have been identified.
