History & Origin
Delayne stands out for its late high. It appeared from the mid nineteen-thirties, stayed scarce for decades, then reached its modest peak in 2004 as surname-style names came back into fashion.
The name was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at most, though its run reached into the twenty-twenties. A girl named Delayne at that recent peak would be barely into her twenties now, wearing a name that reads as fresh and contemporary.
