Son of the lake; son of Flynn
A modern American invention, Macklynn likely combines the Scottish and Irish prefix 'Mac' (meaning son) with the popular suffix 'lynn' (meaning lake). While traditionally masculine in its roots, the addition of the 'lynn' ending has transitioned it into a contemporary feminine choice.
