Pamelyn Origin and Meaning

The name Pamelyn is a girl's name.

Pamelyn is a feminine name that appears to be a modern elaboration of Pamela, blending it with the popular -lyn ending found in names like Carolyn or Evelyn. Pamela itself emerged in the 16th century through Sir Philip Sidney's prose work 'Arcadia,' possibly derived from Greek elements meaning 'all sweetness' or 'honey-sweet.' Pamelyn gained limited usage primarily in the United States during the mid-20th century when Pamela was at its peak popularity. This variation offers a more distinctive alternative while maintaining connection to the familiar name. The addition of the 'lyn' suffix gives the name a more elaborate, romantic quality. Nicknames might include the familiar Pam, Pammy, or Lynn.
