Glenn

Glenn is derived from the Gaelic word gleann, meaning ‘valley’. It began as a Scottish surname for a person living in a glen and became a given name in the twentieth century, used across the English-speaking world. Glenn Miller was a famous American big band leader whose orchestra recorded ‘In the Mood’ and ‘Moonlight Serenade’ before he disappeared over the English Channel during the Second World War. The astronaut John Glenn carried it as a surname.
