Lynn-Marie

Girl name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Lynn-Marie: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 1982.

Lynn-Marie is a modern compound name combining two distinct origins. Lynn derives from a Welsh or English place name and surname element, originally meaning "lake" or "pool." Marie is the French and Scandinavian form of Mary, ultimately from the Hebrew name Miryam, with debated meaning including "beloved," "bitter," or "sea of bitterness." The conjunction creates a melodic, feminine double-barrelled name. Though less common in Scotland than single-form Lynn, it reflects the Scottish tradition of hyphenated names popular from the mid-20th century. While no single famous bearer immediately defines the name, Lynn-Marie appears in various communities, often chosen for its lyrical flow and the blending of Celtic and European roots. The variant Lynn-Mary also appears occasionally.
