History & Origin
Allyne is a decorative spelling of Aline, the short form of Adeline, dressed up in the style of early-twentieth-century American girls' names. It appears in United States records mainly in the early 1900s and was always rare, given to only a couple dozen girls a year.
A woman named Allyne would belong to a great-grandmother generation, and the elegant spelling reads as very much of its era, while the plainer Aline and Adeline have aged more gracefully. Allie and Lyn serve as natural short forms.
