An uncommon American pick — distinctive and rare.
Blakelyn is a girl's baby name of American origin, a creative blend of Blake (Old English, meaning 'black' or 'pale') and the feminine suffix -lyn. It emerged as part of the broader American trend of combining surname-style names with soft -lyn endings.
Blakelyn has a cool, androgynous-leaning quality that many modern parents find appealing — strong enough to feel contemporary, soft enough to feel unmistakably feminine.
Blakelyn climbed 12518 spots in the last 20 years — from #14458 to #1940.
