History & Origin
Kendallyn takes the crisp surname-name Kendall, rooted in an English valley, and adds the -lyn ending that swept American girls' names. The move makes a familiar unisex name read distinctly feminine, and it reached a modest high in the mid twenty-tens.
It was never common, given to only about twenty girls a year at its peak, and it remains a fresh, rare choice. A girl named Kendallyn at that high is still in grade school today. The name pairs a solid English root with an of-the-moment ending.
