History & Origin
Kaylynne is one of the most ornate spellings of Kaylyn, a modern blend of Kay, a short form of Katherine tied to 'pure', and Lynn, Welsh for 'lake'. It rides the late-century fashion for Kay-plus-lyn names, valued for a soft, bright sound.
It stayed a small name: only a couple dozen girls a year in this exact spelling, with a high point around 1996 and a run continuing thinly into the twenty-twenties. A girl named Kaylynne then is in her late twenties now. It travels with the many Kaylyn spellings of its era.
