Jaylin

Jaylin is a modern name that has gained popularity in recent years, particularly in the United States. It is a variant spelling of the name Jalen, which is of African American origin.

The name Jalen is derived from the French name 'Jalien', which is a variant of the name 'Julien'. Julien is a French form of the Latin name 'Julianus', meaning 'youthful' or 'belonging to the Julian family'.

However, the name Jalen (and its variant Jaylin) has taken on a distinct meaning in African American culture, where it is often interpreted to mean 'one who is resilient or a fighter'. This interpretation is likely due to the name's association with strength and perseverance.

Jaylin is a unisex name, although it is more commonly given to girls in modern times. It has a strong, empowering connotation and is often chosen as a way to honor one's cultural heritage and instill a sense of resilience in the child.
