Lincoln (name)
Lincoln is a masculine surname 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. This translates to 'town by the pool' or 'settler by the lake'. As a result of its use to honor Abraham Lincoln, it has become a somewhat prominent first name for males in the United States.
