Glynna is an uncommon female given name of Welsh origin, derived from the word 'gwylan', which means 'seagull'. The name is often associated with Wales and its coastal regions, where seagulls are a common sight. It has been used sparingly throughout history but is not considered one of the more popular choices for girls' names. In some cases, it may be spelled Glyna or Glynnae to differentiate it from similar-sounding names like Gina or Gena. The name Glynna does not have any specific meaning beyond its linguistic roots, and it has no associated holidays or special days aside from the birthdate of individuals named thus.
The name Glynna appears to have had periods of popularity with noticeable spikes in births occurring primarily in the late 1940s and early to mid-1950s. However, there are also several years with no recorded births for this name. The overall total of 212 births suggests that while it was not one of the most common names during these decades, it still had a consistent presence.
