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 . ^[1] This translates to 'town by the pool' or 'settler by the lake'. ^[2] 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). ^[1]
