Roylene is best read as Roy, meaning 'king' in French or 'red' in Irish tradition, joined with the popular -lene suffix of the era. It likely honored a father, grandfather, or other relative named Roy within the family.

Roylene was never common, given to only about twenty girls a year at its peak around 1943, and it faded by the 1970s. A girl named Roylene then would be in her eighties today.
