History & Origin
Daylene is a blended coinage rather than an inherited name, setting a Day- or Dale- opening against the fashionable -lene suffix seen in Darlene and Charlene. Parents drawn to it liked the ready image of 'day' and the familiar rhythm of the -lene family.
It was always uncommon, given to only about twenty girls a year around its 2009 peak, showing a modern flicker rather than a mid-century one, and it never became widespread. The name reads as a light, invented choice still on the fringes of use.
