Etymology & Historical Origin of the Baby Name Jaylyn

Jaylyn is an American name invention – one which really didn’t exist prior to the 21st century. Parents in the United States are mainly the driving force behind outright inventions (and to a lesser extent Canada and Australia), and there is a particular favoring of “Jay” names for both baby boys and girls. For girls, Americans seem to be going gangbusters over names that start with “Jay” such as Jayda, Jayla, Jayden, Jaylene, Jaycee, Jaylee and Jaylin. Jaylyn(n) is another example of this trend. The name is really just the combination of appealing sounds (in this case, Jay + Lyn(n)) and so technically it does not have any legitimate etymology or meaning behind it. The Jay name was created as a pet form for any name beginning with the letter J and the “lyn(n)” suffix comes from the Welsh word “llyn” meaning “lake” so the name could be said to mean Jay’s Lake but this is a stretch.

All About the Baby Name – Jaylyn

Personality

OF THE GIRL NAME JAYLYN

Romance is the hallmark of the Six personality. They exude nurturing, loving, and caring energy. Sixes are in love with the idea of love in its idealized form - and with their magnetic personalities, they easily draw people toward them. Like the number Two personality, they seek balance and harmony in their life and the world at large. They are conscientious and service-oriented, and a champion for the underdog. These personalities naturally attract money and are usually surrounded by lovely material objects - but their human relationships are always primary. They thrive in giving back to others rather than being motivated by their own desires. This is when they achieve great things. Sixes are natural teachers, ministers and counselors.

Popularity

OF THE GIRL NAME JAYLYN

Jaylyn’s overall popularity is somewhat demonstrated by the many creative spellings of this name. Currently in circulation are Jaylin, Jaelyn, Jaelynn, Jaylyn and Jaylynn so altogether these names are used with more frequency than first meets the eye (although little girls with such names will no doubt carry the burden of having to confirm and reconfirm the spelling of their name as they go through life). Jaylyn is an example of a modern, youthful and cutesy name invention so many parents find to their liking in 21st century America. It has more to do with the name’s appealing sound over any associated substance or meaning.
