Lincoln (name)
Introduction '''Lincoln''' is a surname and masculine given name of Old English origin. The surname originates from the city of Lincoln, England, whose name means "lake/pool colony", combining the Brythonic word ''lynn'' with the Latin word ''colonia''. This translates to 'town by the pool' or 'settler by the lake'. As a result of its use to honor Abraham Lincoln, it has become a somewhat prominent first name for males in the United States (#781 out of 1220, Top 6 2018).
