Jalyn

Jalyn is a contemporary masculine name with modern American origins, though it can occasionally be used for girls as well. This name emerged in popularity during the late 20th century as part of the trend toward creative spellings and distinctive-sounding names. Jalyn likely developed as a variation of names like Jalen, Jaylin, or Jason, combining popular sounds and elements.

Jalyn sounds exactly like more popular brothers Jaylen -- the top spelling of the name -- and Jalen. Spelling the last syllable with a y does tilt it toward the feminine side.
