History & Origin

Evlynn is a modern respelling of Evelyn. That name comes from the English surname Evelyn, which was taken from the Norman French female name Aveline, a diminutive of Ava - a Germanic name whose meaning has never been settled. Evelyn was used for boys as well as girls in earlier centuries before settling firmly on the girls' side, and it has been among the most popular American girls' names of recent years, bringing respellings such as Evlynn with it (said 'EV-lin').

It appears only in very small numbers against the commoner Evelyn. Rare, trim, and modern.

Did you know? Evelyn started as a surname taken from the Norman girls' name Aveline - so a name that now reads as thoroughly feminine spent centuries as a family name, and even a boys' name.
