ORIGIN & HISTORY

About the name

'Favor, blessing' — inherited from Grace, ultimately from Latin gratia, with the popular contemporary name-suffix '-lyn/-lynn' added.

gratia — Latin root of the base name Grace. Grace, the root of this name, is a 17th-century Puritan virtue name (alongside names like Faith and Hope), created by adopting the moral-quality word directly as a given name; it later became the top-ranked girls' name in England and Wales in 2006.
