Amberlynn (English pronunciation: AM-bur-lin /ˈæmbər.lɪn/) is a contemporary Anglo-American feminine name created by the concatenation of Amber—derived via Middle English and Old French from the fossilized resin celebrated for its warm, golden hue—and Lynn, which traces to the Old English hlynn, meaning “pool” or “waterfall.” Such compound formation reflects a late twentieth-century tendency toward names that evoke natural imagery through the fusion of two distinct lexical elements. In the United States, the name first appeared in the Social Security Administration’s top-one-thousand roster in 1976 with six recorded births (rank 756); it reached its highest relative standing in 1983 (rank 764, twelve births), then experienced a gradual decline before a modest resurgence in the early 2010s—registering sixty-three occurrences in both 2011 (rank 884) and 2014 (rank 900). As of 2024, Amberlynn remains in use at a level of twenty-five births (rank 925), demonstrating a stable but limited circulation within the broader landscape of Anglo-American naming conventions.
