Maylen
Meaning of Maylen
Maylen is a modern Anglo-American feminine given name formed through the synthetic combination of the month-name May—etymologically rooted in the Roman goddess Maia and traditionally evoking springtime renewal and youthful vitality—with the diminutive suffix -len, cognate with the English -lyn. Its introduction into United States birth records in the late twentieth century marks it as a product of contemporary onomastic innovation, and since its first appearance it has maintained a modest but consistent presence within the Social Security Administration’s annual top 1000 rankings. Annual occurrences have varied between six and seventy-six births, yielding rank positions predominantly between 823 and 973; over the past decade its placement has stabilized near the 900th position, reflecting a sustained, if niche, parental preference for names that balance familiar elements with subtle distinctiveness.
