Meaning and origin of Londyn
Londyn is an American (modern coinage) and English name that is usually said to mean “from the city of London”.
Londyn is a modern American spelling of London, the name of the English capital. The origin of the city's name is uncertain; it comes from the Roman Londinium, which may be based on an older Celtic word, but scholars do not agree on its meaning. As a first name London became fashionable in the United States in the early twenty-first century as part of a trend for place names, and Londyn followed with a y that echoes names like Brooklyn and Kaitlyn. It has an urban, stylish feel, and its two syllables make it easy to pair with both short and long middle names.
