Maralyn is a female name with origins in various cultures. The name is often considered a variation of the more popular name Marilyn. It can be pronounced as muh-RAH-lin in both British English (/məˈrælɪn/) and American English (/məˈrɑːlɪn/). Maralyn has been given to baby girls in the United States since at least 1917, but it gained popularity in the mid-20th century. In recent years, its usage has declined but remains an option for parents seeking a unique and distinctive name for their daughter.
