Lynam

Lynam, also spelled Lynham, is the Anglicised form of the Modern Irish surname, Ó Laigheanáin (originally Ó Laidhghneáin in earlier forms of Irish) which can be roughly translated as someone of Laighean / Laidhghn (Leinster) descent. It is thought to have its roots in Contae Uíbh Fhailí (County Offaly), a county in the heart of Ireland and the west of Cúige Laighean, the province of Leinster.
