modern spelling of London, the English capital city
The story
Londyn is London respelled the way this century genders a place: the y does for it what -syn did for Emersyn and the extra e's did for Journee. London's own story sits one batch earlier in our worklist, and the two curves rhyme at an offset: Londyn ran about 2,700 in the 2000s, 17,300 in the 2010s, and 7,600 so far this decade. The spelling sharpens the split: this decade Londyn runs about 98 percent girls, where London itself runs closer to 84. The city's etymology remains honestly unknown either way; the y adds no meaning, only intent, and intent is precisely what respelling parents are buying. In our records Londyn goes to girls about 27,200 to 530. One city, two spellings, two audiences: the capital as heirloom, and the capital as hers.

South Australia
last on record 2016
Londyn is not on the 2017 record for South Australia, whose registry publishes every name given that year.
The count never rose above 1 in a year, too few to chart.
Births registered in South Australia (not all of Australia) by first name and year of registration, 1944–2017, from the state’s Births, Deaths and Marriages registry, which publishes every name down to a single birth in capitals; a spelling its export repeats inside a year is counted once, and from 2018 only a top 100 is published, so the series ends at 2017.

Not on the record in Spain, Mexico City, Argentina, Puerto Rico, Ireland, New Zealand, Scotland and Poland: those registries withhold small counts, so rare uses may sit below their floors.
Not on the Chile record: nametree keeps spellings that reached 5 registrations in some year, so rarer uses are not shown. Not on the Montevideo record for 1940 to 2011: that registry withholds nothing, so this spelling was not given there in those years. Not on the France record: nametree keeps spellings that reached 20 births in some year, so rarer uses are not shown. Not on the Austria record for 1984 to 2025: Statistik Austria publishes every first name down to a single birth, so this name was not given there in those years (before 2010 the record covers babies with Austrian citizenship only). Not on Norway’s list: Statistics Norway lists only first names carried by 200 or more living people, so rarer names are not shown.
