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,” according to Wikipedia. “Lindum colonia” is said to have been the original pronunciation, but soon was shortened to “Lincoln.”

Abe Lincoln may be the most famous bearer of the English name “Lincoln.” He remains one of the most famous presidents in American history, not far behind George Washington. Other notable presidents are Thomas Jefferson, Harry S. Truman, William Henry Harrison, James Monroe, and John Tyler. But since this isn’t a history blog, I digress.
