Mallin Origin and Meaning

The name Mallin is a boy's name.

Mallin is a masculine name with several possible origins. It may derive from Irish Gaelic, possibly as a variant of Malone (from 'Mael Eoin,' meaning 'devotee of Saint John'), or from the surname Mallin or Mallon. In some contexts, it could be a variation of the Scandinavian name Malin (which is typically feminine in Sweden). The name has a strong, concise sound while maintaining a certain softness in pronunciation. Though uncommon as a first name in most English-speaking regions, Mallin has seen limited use, particularly in families with Irish heritage. Its rarity makes it distinctive while its familiar phonetics prevent it from feeling too foreign or difficult to pronounce.
