This surname is of Welsh, Cornish, and Irish origins.

Taking the Welsh-Cornish origin first Glynn is a locational name from one of the places thus called, such as Glyn Dyffryn, near Corwen, in the county of Merioneth, or Glynn, near Carmarthen or Glynn on the river Fowey, in Cornwall.

The placenames derive from the pre 7th century word "glyn", meaning a valley.
