Raelynn

Raelynn name meaning and origin

Raelynn is a combined name, possibly taking meaning from Rae – short for Rachel, which means "ewe" in Hebrew – and Lynn, a popular ending element for many girls' names.

Even though it's a newer name and doesn't have a standalone definition or origin, Raelynn has become popular in the United States thanks to the trendiness of girls' names ending in "-lynn." The trend originates in French, where "-line" is a common ending for girls' names, like Madeline and Caroline.

Raelynn first joined the top 1,000 girls' names in the United States in 2008. It climbed quickly, though, jumping all the way to No. 337 within four years. It continues to gain popularity, joining the top 100 names in 2022.
