History & Origin
Leilynn is a modern American coinage and a doubled-n spelling of Leilyn. The Leila at its front is a genuinely old Arabic and Persian name from layl, 'night'; the -lynn at its back is the ending that shapes Raelynn, Brooklynn and Jaelynn. The joined name is recent, so we do not claim an older etymology for it and present it honestly as a coinage of uncertain route (said 'LAY-lin').
It appears only in very small numbers in the U.S. Rare, soft, and newly emerging.
