History & Origin

Andilyn is a contemporary coinage joining the tomboyish Andi to the very popular -lyn ending shared by Adalyn and Emberlyn. It gave parents a way to turn a spunky nickname into a soft, full girls' name.

It appears in United States records from the late two-thousands and reached its small peak in the middle two-thousand-tens before easing, always rare. A girl named Andilyn from that peak is still a young child today, firmly a name of the -lyn era.

Did you know? The Andi that opens Andilyn is a short form of Andrea, whose Greek root means 'brave,' quietly seeding courage at the front of the name.
