Ayleen

Ayleen is a new name creation probably inspired by Aileen (an anglicized Gaelic form of Helen) combined with the rising popularity of names like the modern-day Jayleen. Ayleen is pretty new to the charts in the United States, but randomly it is a high ranking name in places like Germany, Liechtenstein and Chili. We can only guess the name is somehow connected with Aileen which is ultimately derived from Helen. Helen is a Greek name, most likely derived from “hēlios” which is the word for “sun”, indicating a sunbeam or ray of light specifically. Given Helen’s connection to the beautiful Helen of Troy of Greek Mythology, the name has come to mean “radiant one” (i.e., a face so beautiful it could launch a thousand ships). See the name Helen for more details. For the reasons behind Ayleen’s probable usage in Chile, see the name Aylin.
