LINCOLN

(origin: Local) From Lincoln in England. The name is derived from Lin in the Gaelic, Welsh, and Cor. Br., which signifies a pool, pond, or lake, and coln, the ridge or neck of a hill, so called from its situation, as it occupies the top and side of a steep hill on the river Witham, which here divides into three streams.
