Flynn Coat of Arms

Flynn is a surname of Irish origin. It is an Anglicized form of the Gaelic Ó Floinn "descendant of Flann," a byname meaning "red(dish)" or "ruddy." The name originated in the landlocked county of Laois in the mid-1300s by a large farming family. The name was almost wiped out due to both plague and famine, but it still lives on today. 

Variant spellings of the Irish surname Flynn include O'Flynn, Flinn, Lynn, O'Lynn, Linn, and O'Linn.
