The name Brooklin is a girl's name.

Brooklin is a feminine name representing a modern geographic-inspired choice, derived from the famous New York City borough of Brooklyn. This spelling variation with the 'in' ending gives it a softer, more feminine feel than the place name it references. The name suggests urban sophistication and contemporary style, while maintaining connections to nature through the original meaning of Brooklyn as "broken land" or "marshy land." Gaining popularity in the early 2000s, Brooklin appeals to parents seeking modern-sounding names with recognizable references but unique spellings. Though less common than Brooklyn, this variation offers a subtle distinction while maintaining the trendy appeal of place names. It carries connotations of strength, individuality, and a touch of cosmopolitan flair.
