History & Origin

Tylene is a coined American name, built from a bright Ty- opening and the -lene ending that names like Marlene and Charlene made popular. Because -lene is a diminutive suffix rather than a word with its own meaning, Tylene is best read as a rhythm-first invention of its era.

It was never common, given to only around fifteen girls a year even at its peak in the late nineteen-sixties, and it faded within a generation. A girl named Tylene then is in her fifties today.

Did you know? The -lene ending gave a whole run of mid-century names, from Charlene to Darlene, a matching sound, and Tylene joined that fashionable rhyming set.
