History & Origin

Maelina is a modern coinage joining Mae to the -lina ending of Melina and Adelina. It has no single documented root, and we note its routes as uncertain rather than assigning it a heritage it does not have (said 'may-LEE-nuh').

It is very rare in the U.S. Flowing, soft, and modern.

Did you know? The -lina ending has been quietly borrowed from Italian, Spanish and Greek naming into American coinages — Maelina is one of the newest of them.
