Raelynn Origin and Meaning

The name Raelynn is a girl's name .

What do you get when you cross two out-of-style, mid-century favorites together?

Something new and cool and one-of-a-kind? A monstrous, stitched-together creation?

No, you get Raelynn, a popular choice in the US.

Raelynn has had an impressive climb up the charts in the last decade, trebling in usage, and transforming from a rarity into an on-trend choice. In tune with the Aiden, Jaden and Brayden trend and following in the footsteps of Evelyn, Madelyn, and Brooklyn, Raelynn is in the spotlight, and currently given to over 2000 babies each year.

A combination of Rae and Lynn, Raelynn has several possible meanings. Lynn could be derived from the Welsh word llyn, meaning “lake” but it could also be a diminutive for Linda, meaning “pretty” in Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish. Alternatively, it could mean “soft and tender”, from the Germanic “lind.”

Rae, meanwhile, can be a short form of the Hebrew name Rachel, meaning “ewe”, or a feminine form of Ray meaning “advice and counsel” or “beam of light.”

Put them together and you can have some fun with the meaning: tender ewe, pretty light, soft and tender counsel, ewe by the lake, pretty ewe, and so on.

Whether Raelynn will grow further in popularity or whether it’s a name of the moment is yet to be seen, but it joins (and outranks) the new wave of smoosh-names in the charts, including Oaklynn, Gracelynn, Jazlyn, Braelyn and Emberlynn.

If you enjoy the sounds or style of Raelynn but want something less popular, you could consider Layton, Romilly, Brighton, Wrenley, Avianna, Baylor, or Raven.
