Ashlinn
Meaning of Ashlinn
Ashlinn, pronounced ASH-lin (/ˈæʃlɪn/), is a melodic twist on the Irish Gaelic Aisling—literally “dream” or “vision”—that drifts into the modern world like a handful of morning mist glinting in the sun. Bursting with Celtic charm and a whisper of folklore, Ashlinn feels both ancient and freshly minted, as if it’s been rediscovered in a hidden glen and given a playful new twist. Since first appearing on U.S. baby charts in the late 1980s, it’s hovered in the 800s and 900s—peaking with five births and a rank of 808 in 1988—and in 2022, nine little girls carried the name, placing Ashlinn at 935th. Its gentle rarity makes it a secret handshake among parents who love names that sparkle quietly rather than shout, and its meaning—“dream”—invites every girl who wears it to reach for her own horizons.
