Evelynn Origin and Meaning

The name Evelynn is a girl's name of English origin meaning "desired; or water, island".

This spelling variation of the classic Evelyn gives it a trendy makeover to fit in with the surge of names ending with -lynn suffixes. Recent counts have seen it given to around 1000 girls each year and it sits with the Top 400.

With Evelyn now a Top 10 choice, spelling variants have inevitably risen too. Evelynn is currently the most popular option, though Everlyn, Evalyn, and Evelin also getting more attention.

Some parents may prefer the -lynn ending because it clarifies pronunciation, distinguishing the name from Eveline, which rhymes with wine or lean. It doesn't solve the problem however of people most likely guessing the more popular single -n spelling as the right one, nor does it settle the debate on whether the name is EHV-uh-lin, EEV-lin, EHV-lin, or EEV-uh-lin, which really comes down to personal preference and location.

Nevertheless, Evelynn maintains the dignity and sweetness of Evelyn while also giving it a contemporary twist.
