When gazing into the looking glass, who will baby see? Lynetta is a feminine name capable of forging a strong identity, with origins in Welsh and Arthurian lore. Often considered a diminutive of Lynn, the Welsh word for “lake,” Lynetta also derives from the ancient name Eluned. From this root, Lynetta means “image,” “likeness,” and “idol,” casting an emphasis on the perception of reality versus our inner world. The variant Lynette was given to an Arthurian heroine who asked King Arthur to help her sister, Lyonesse, against the Red Knight. Lynetta’s lyrical “a” ending adds another layer of personality to the title, lending a boost of confidence for the adventure that awaits.
