2800+ Girl Names That End in N
- Britton
Origin:
EnglishMeaning:
"from Britain"Description:
Britton, technically a spelling variation of Britain, is much more popular that the original place name for both boys and girls. There are about three baby girls named Britton for every four boys, making it a truly nonbinary choice.
- Carsyn
Origin:
Spelling variation of Carson, English and ScottishMeaning:
"son of the marsh dwellers"Description:
A contemporary, feminized variation of Carson.
- Shirleyann
Origin:
Compound name, combining Shirley and AnnMeaning:
"grace of the bright meadow; bright meadow + grace"Description:
Quaint, quirky, and slightly clunky, Shirleyann is a smoosh name with a 30s feel about it. An unexpected vintage choice, a potential honor name, or perhaps for diehard fans of Anne of Green Gables (though maybe Shirleyanne would be better).
- Lilyan
- Zaylynn
Origin:
Modern invention of unknown meaningDescription:
Zaylynn combines the spiky letter Z with the popular lynn suffix, to make a very modern sounding name, likely inspired by Zaylen, Braelynn, Azalea and Zaylee.
- Addilyn
Origin:
Variation of Adeline, FrenchMeaning:
"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.
- Macen
Origin:
English, feminine variation of MasonMeaning:
"worker in stone"Description:
Rather than going with a yooneek spelling like Macen (or Maysen or Masyn), we'd suggest sticking with the original Mason, as Kelsey Grammer did for his daughter.
- Starlynn
Origin:
Modern invented nameDescription:
As modern "smoosh" names go, Starlynn is not bad. Over the past two years nearly 40 American girls have been given this name. There may be some confusion with the name Starling (a type of bird), but that shouldn't be too difficult to overcome. Beware, however, its similarity in sound to Russian dictator, Stalin.
- Siran
Origin:
ArmenianMeaning:
"lovely"Description:
A shimmery name with a wonderful meaning; another intriguing variation is Siroun.
- Shoushan
Origin:
HebrewMeaning:
"lily"Description:
Shoushan is a romantic member of the Susan/Susannah/Shoshana family — rhythmic and melodic.
- Kallen
- An
Origin:
Chinese or VietnameseMeaning:
"peace or safe, secure"Description:
A gender-neutral Chinese name that originated as a surname, An can be used for girls or boys and means peace or quiet. An may also be a Vietnamese name meaning safe and secure. Its equivalence to the English article an may make it feel slight in an English-dominant culture.
- Aelwen
Origin:
Welsh: "white brow"Meaning:
"white brow"Description:
Aelwen was first used in the revival of native Welsh names in the nineteenth century. It is occasionally used in Wales, but has not made the charts there for at least 20 years.
- Nanon
Origin:
French, diminutive of AnnDescription:
Sweet and endearing, à la Mignon and Manon.
- Maelen
- Gracen
Origin:
Elaboration of Grace, virtue nameDescription:
Grace, meet Grayson. The stylish classic girls' name Grace -- it's in the Top 20 -- and the trendy boys' name Grayson or Greyson, a member of the Jason-Mason-Cason club, combine to create the girls' name Gracen. For a little girl, we'd stop at Grace.
- Scotlyn
Origin:
Compound name, Scot plus Lyn, Scottish and WelseMeaning:
"Scottish lake"Description:
Scotlyn is a smoosh name that sounds almost like Scotland but has more cred as a first name. Moving quickly up the popularity ladder but still hiding beneath the Top 1000, Scotlyn can also be spelled Scotlynn.
- Vernon
Origin:
EnglishMeaning:
"place of alders"Description:
Much more upscale and modern for a girl than a boy.
- Tilden
Origin:
English place nameMeaning:
"fertile valley"Description:
Tilden is mostly seen as a male name, but we love it just as much for a girl. It's an androgynous answer to Tilda, and still gets you the super-sweet nickname Tilly (or Tildy).
- Amen
Origin:
Word nameDescription:
One of the new literalist religious names, like Blessing, Heavenly and Neveah. More male than female, but essentially unisex.
