Lakelyn is a modern coinage for a girl's name, built by blending "Lake" with the "-lyn" ending from Lynn, so it carries an echo of a lake right in its construction rather than through any older word history. It's pronounced LAYK-lin (IPA /ˈleɪklɪn/). There's no traditional etymology to point to here — it was assembled as a compound rather than passed down from another language.
