Mayleen
Meaning of Mayleen
Pronounced “MAY-leen” (/meɪˈliːn/), Mayleen is a modern English name that fuses May—rooted in the Roman goddess Maia and synonymous with spring’s renewal—with the Welsh-derived Lynn, meaning “lake.” This pairing conveys both lively freshness and tranquil grace, fitting for parents who desire a name that balances familiarity with individuality. Though Mayleen has never placed within the U.S. top 500, it has maintained a modest, steady presence since the late 1970s, hovering around the 900th rank with roughly twenty annual registrations. Its rarity ensures that bearers rarely encounter a namesake in their class—a discreet advantage in today’s bustling naming landscape.
