Etymology & Historical Origin of the Baby Name Brooklynn

Brooklynn is a feminized version of the increasingly popular unisex name Brooklyn. By adding an extra “n” to the end of the name, the “lynn” becomes a suffix making it more exclusively female. Brooklyn comes from a place name, one of the boroughs of New York City, which Dutch settlers originally named “Breukelen” (meaning ‘broken land’). It may also be a simple combination of the name Brooke and the familiar suffix Lynn. Most likely, parents began using the name as homage to Brooklyn, NY and it simply caught on, as place-names often have (Paris, Savannah, Phoenix, Sierra or London for example).
