Edlin
Meaning of Edlin
Edlin (/ˈɛd.lɪn/) is an English feminine name built from the Old English element ead, meaning “wealth” or “prosperity,” combined with the diminutive suffix -lin. It carries a sense of quiet confidence and understated elegance, reflecting both its Germanic roots and a modern, streamlined sound. Though never widespread, Edlin appeared steadily in California birth records during the late 1980s and early 1990s—peaking at 25 newborns (rank 355) in 1989—before gradually receding in use. Its two-syllable structure and clear pronunciation make it a distinctive choice for parents seeking a name that bridges traditional heritage with contemporary style.
