Linn

Linn is a Scandinavian feminine name that originated as a short form of names containing the Old Norse element lind, meaning linden tree, a tree traditionally associated with grace and femininity in Nordic culture. It is widely used in Sweden and Norway both as an independent given name and as a nickname for longer names such as Linda, Linnea, or Katarina. The spelling Lynn is a common English-language cognate, while Lina and Line represent related short forms used across northern Europe.
