Arlyne is a female name with origins in the Gaelic language. It is a variation of the name Arlene and has been used in both British English and American English speaking countries. In British English, it is pronounced as "ahr-leen" (/ɑrˈliːn/), while in American English, it is also pronounced as "ahr-leen" (/ɑrˈlin/).
The name Arlyne has had varying levels of popularity over the years in the United States. In recent years, it has been given to a small number of newborns, ranking around the 8,000-16,000 range. However, its usage seems to have declined since its peak popularity in the mid-20th century when it was more commonly chosen for baby girls. Despite this decline, Arlyne still holds a sense of charm and uniqueness for those who choose it as a name for their daughters.
Arlyne Brickman (1934–2020) was an informant against the American Mafia. |
