History & Origin

Paylin is a coined American girls' name that appears in United States records only in the late two-thousands. It has no traceable etymology; it reads as a blend of a Pay- opening with the modern -lin ending, in the invented style of many recent girls' names.

It stayed rare throughout, reaching only a couple dozen girls a year at its early-twenty-tens high. A girl named Paylin then is a young teen now, from a generation fond of freshly built names.
