Lank is an uncommon yet distinctive given name, believed to originate from Old English roots. It is derived from the word "hlanc", which translates to 'lank' or 'slender'. The name was once used in England during the Middle Ages but has since become quite rare. Today, it's more often found as a surname rather than a first name. Lank lacks any particular association with specific seasons, days, or cultures, making it truly unique and versatile for parents seeking an uncommon yet meaningful name for their child.
The name Lank had a gap of 34 years between its two recorded births, with five births each in 1926 and 1960, totaling ten births overall.
