Meaning & History

(male) Transferred use of the surname, in origin a local name from the name of the city of Lincoln. This is found in the 7th century as Lindum colonia, probably from an Old Welsh word meaning ‘lake’ (compare modern Welsh llyn) + the Latin defining term colonia ‘colony, settlement’. As a given name it was in use in the United States in the 18th century. Rising in popularity in the 19th century, it has no doubt sometimes been bestowed in honour of Abraham Lincoln (1809–65), 16th president of the United States, who led the Union to victory in the Civil War and enforced the emancipation of slaves.
