Alyn

Does anyone know where the name Alyn came from? I know that there is a small river in North Wales called the Alyn and it flows into the river Dee but that's about it. Thanks

It could be a variate of Alan/Allen.

Lynn is Welsh for lake, so maybe the A is some kind of particle with meaning in welsh.

Well . . .

it's actually 'llyn' that is Welsh for lake - Lynn is a derivative - so that wouldn't make sense unless it was Allyn.
