Marshland or broken land; also refers to the New York borough.
A modern elaboration of Brooklyn, combining the Dutch-origin place name with the popular 'lynn' suffix. It originally stems from the Dutch town of Breukelen, meaning 'broken land' or 'marshland'. In a modern American context, it is often chosen to honor the New York City borough or for its stylish, rhythmic sound.
