Etymology & Historical Origin of the Baby Name Jaylynn

Jaylynn is the combination of the personal names Jay and Lynn. Jay is simply the phonetically rendered spelling for the letter “J” and developed as a nickname for almost any given name that starts with a J. The name Lynn comes from the Welsh word “llyn” which means “lake”. So we guess it could be said that Jaylynn means “Jay’s lake”. In reality, this name was created with no specific meaning. It’s an American invention coined from the masculine, mainly African-American name Jalen (popularized by basketball star Jalen Rose). The name has become so popular in recent years that several unisex and feminine forms have emerged in the United States: Jaelyn, Jaelynn, Jaylyn Jaylynn, Jaylin and Jaylen (not to mention the slight variations of Jayleen and Jaylene). Jaylynn is a name distinct to the United States.

Popularity

OF THE GIRL NAME JAYLYNN

Jaylynn first appeared on the American female naming charts in 2001, so it’s basically a 21st century invention. The name has doubled in usage within 10 years, but that’s not exactly saying a lot. Jaylynn is still only lightly used, but together with all her variations, the “Jaylynn” family of names is given to over 4,000 baby girls per year. This name is quite similar to the Jaydens, Kadens, Kaylyns, Aidens, and Haydens out there. Super trendy, somewhat over-used (therefore no longer original), and representative of too many respellings and mutations (almost giving these names a cartoonish quality). Despite the fact that many Americans are collectively rolling their eyes at these types of names, there is still a very real market for them. Don’t discount the parents who are drawn to these cutesy sounding names. It’s only their opinions that matter!
