Londyn
Meaning
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.
