llyn
''Llyn'' (:ɬɨ̞n, ɬɪn) is the Welsh word for "lake" or, occasionally, "pond" or "pool". The word and its cognates in other Celtic languages (such as the Irish ''linn'' and the Breton ''lenn''), as well their derivatives—including ''lyn'', ''lynn'' and ''lin''—appear in many placenames throughout the current and former Celtic world, as, for example, in Dublin and King's Lynn.
Most of the place names containing ''llyn'' or one its variants indeed refer to lakes, ponds or other water features.
==Other places==
There are some "llyn" place names, even in Wales, in which the derivation is otherwise (see Llŷn Peninsula and Leinster in which the "llyn" sound, which carries a different accent in Welsh, is believed to derive from the name of a tribe). In these cases the apparent similarity probably came about through the processes of associative homonymy and homography where words of different origin come to be pronounced and spelled in identical or near-identical ways.
