Maelynn Origin and Meaning
The name Maelynn is a girl's name meaning "beloved; drop in the sea + beautiful; soft; lake".
If you can add Lynn to a name, someone will and Mae is no exception to the rule. This compound name sits somewhere between the mid-century charm of Marilyn, Jerilyn, and Jocelyn, and the contemporary cool vibes of Jazlynn, Oaklynn, and Emberlynn.
Used on a handful of girls since the 60s, it has really taken off in the last decade and is now given to around 215 babies each year.
