Hollyn

Hollyn is a modern English name that is a variation of the more traditional name Holly.

Holly is derived from the Old English words 'hol' meaning 'holly' and 'lēah' meaning 'meadow', so it originally referred to a holly meadow or a meadow with holly trees.

The name Hollyn likely emerged as a creative spelling variation, perhaps influenced by the trend of adding a 'y' or 'lyn' ending to feminine names.

While Hollyn does not have a distinct meaning separate from Holly, it maintains the connection to the holly plant and its association with Christmas and winter.
