"Blend of Jo and Lynn"
The name Jolynn is commonly a female name.
Jolynn is a modern American compound name, formed from Jo, a short form of names such as Josephine or Joanna, and Lynn, an established English given name and name element. The two parts also occur written separately as Jo Lynn. The joined spelling appears in United States birth records from 1935, which fits the period when hyphenated and run-together double names of this type were being recorded.
The pronunciation of Jolynn is joh-LIN.
