Lincoln

Lincoln is a name with both English and Celtic roots. It is taken from an Old English surname, which was a habitational name given to those who lived in or came from the city of Lincoln, which is the province town of Lincolnshire. The city of Lincoln was established all the way back in the first century B.C and was created by a Celtic clan. It was originally named 'Lindon', which was an adaptation of the old Celtic Brythonic word, so the meaning of Lincoln is 'llyn' signifying 'lake' or 'pool'. The settlement worked around and was named after the Brayford Pool, a part of the River Witham that ran through a focal point of the city. When the Romans invaded England in the first century A.D, they Latinized the name of Lindon to Lindum Colonia or 'Lake Colony.' This ultimately transformed into Lincoln. In the United States, the name is most commonly associated with the sixteenth President, Abraham Lincoln, who drove the Union to triumph in the Civil War and implemented the liberation of the slaves. As a name, Lincoln is not commonly given. A celebrity couple who named their daughter Lincoln is the American actors Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard, who named their oldest girl Lincoln in 2013.
