What it means
A modern respelling of London, the English capital, used as a place-and-given name.
Londyn is a contemporary respelling of London, the great English city whose own ancient name (Londinium) has roots lost to debate. As a given name it rode the wave of city and place names, and the -dyn spelling marks this version as feminine and modern. It belongs with Brooklyn and the other place names parents have adopted.
