A list of names that end in -ijn. -Ijn is pronounced as 'Ine'. Pretty common in Dutch.

Pepijn
- Origin:
  Dutch form of Pepin
- Meaning:
  "awe-inspiring"
- Description:
  Pepijn, with its emphasis on the second syllable pronounced with a long i to rhyme with pine, is in the Dutch Top 100. Clipped, energetic-sounding nickname names such as Pep and Pip are stylish in The Netherlands. Could that translate to the English speaking world? Stay tuned.
Stijn
- Origin:
  Dutch short form
- Description:
  As you may surmise from its origins as a short form for Constantijn and Augustijn, Stijn rhymes with nine and fine, though most English-speakers wouldn't guess that. A popular name in the Netherlands that's obscure elsewhere, for reasons undoubtedly connected to its spelling and pronunciation issues.

  "gift from God"
- Description:
  A Top 50 choice in the Netherlands.
Merijn
