      Welsh
    • Meaning:

      "white, blessed"

  19. Jayleen
    • Origin:

      Modern invented name

      Variation of Adeline, French
    • Meaning:

      "noble, nobility"
    • Description:

      Another spin on the mega-popular Adeline names, which could stop any confusion about whether the ending is said lyn, line, or leen. This form peeked in 2016 when it nearly made the US Top 300, however, it was one of the fastest falling names in 2023, and now sits in the latter end of the Top 1000. We recommend the classic Adeline or Adaline or the more streamlined Adelyn.
