History & Origin

Sylina reads best as a variant of Selina, from the Greek Selene, 'moon.' The Sy- spelling gives it a fresh, invented look while keeping the moon-bright meaning, and it can double as a simple Sy- plus Lina blend, which we note as a secondary path.

Sylina was never common, given to only about fourteen girls a year around 1980 and staying rare on either side. A girl named Sylina then is in her forties today, and the graceful -lina ending keeps her name in step with Selina, Melina, and Carolina.

Did you know? Through Selina, Sylina reaches back to Selene, the Greek moon goddess, giving this modern-looking spelling an ancient, luminous root.
