The girl’s name Brooklyn \b-rookl-yn, bro(ok)-lyn\ is a variant of Brooke (Old English, Old German), and the meaning of Brooklyn is “water, small stream”.

The baby name Brooklyn sounds like Brooklynn and Brooklynne. Other similar baby names are Breelyn and Brookelle.

Brooklyn is a borough of New York City. The name comes from the Dutch “Breukelen,” probably meaning “broken land.” The name has become extremely popular in the U.S., perhaps due to its similarity to two existing names, Brooke and Lynn. British celebrity Victoria Beckham named her son Brooklyn in 1999, which no doubt contributed to the name’s growing popularity.

However, Brooklyn explains her name in a very simple way. “My mom’s best friend had a horse named Brook, and she always loved the name, so I got Brooklyn“.
