Names: Hollyn

A relatively new name.

It can be a shortened form of Holly-Ann, a combination of Holly (a reference to the holly tree) and Ann (a name derived from Hannah, meaning 'grace' or 'favor').

It could be seen as an alternate spelling of the Old English word for holly, holegn, which can also mean 'prince' or 'protector.'
