Description:
Charlyn is a feminine name that combines elements of 'Charlotte' and the popular suffix '-lyn' or could be viewed as a variation of 'Charlene.' With roots in the masculine name Charles (meaning 'free man'), Charlyn carries connotations of strength and independence. While never reaching widespread popularity, the name saw modest usage in the United States during the mid-20th century, particularly in the 1940s and 1950s. Charlyn offers a slightly softer, more distinctive alternative to Charlotte or Charlene while maintaining their classic appeal. The name has remained uncommon enough to be distinctive yet recognizable, appealing to parents seeking a name with traditional roots but a somewhat unique presentation.
