Meaning & History

Add to web page
LIN

1. Chinese 林: from a word meaning ‘forest’. Bi Gan was a half-brother to Zhou Xin, the cruel and corrupt last king (1154–1123 BC) of the Shang dynasty. Bi Gan criticized his half-brother's excesses, and for this he had his belly ripped open and his heart cut out. His wife fled to Chang Forest, where she gave birth to a son. When Zhou Xin was toppled by the new Zhou dynasty, the new Zhou ruler granted the son some land together with the name Lin.

2. Chinese 连: variant of Lian 1.

3. Scottish and English: perhaps a variant of Lynn.

4. Dutch: probably a variant of Lyn.
