Alynn
Meaning of Alynn
Alynn, pronounced uh-LIN, combines elements from the Gaelic Ailín—meaning “little rock”—with the Old English element linn, or “lake,” suggesting a name that balances strength and calm. Since its first recorded appearances in the late 1940s, Alynn has maintained a modest presence on US birth charts, entering and exiting the top 1,000 in alternating years and peaking at rank 897 in 2003. In 2024, ten newborn girls were given the name, placing it at 940th in popularity and reflecting a steady, unhurried level of interest rather than dramatic spikes. With its clear, two-syllable form and understated elegance, Alynn offers parents a choice that feels both comfortably rooted in tradition and quietly distinctive.
