Eibhlin
A girl's name of Irish origin with 56 recorded U.S. births.
Meaning & Origin
Only 56 babies have been named Eibhlin in recorded U.S. history. That level of rarity means your child would almost certainly be the only one in their school, their workplace, and most rooms they walk into — a genuinely one-of-a-kind choice.
Eibhlin is not in the current top 1,000 girl names nationally, making it an uncommon choice — though your state or community may differ.
Eibhlin is a girl's baby name of Irish origin, the traditional Irish form of Evelyn or Eileen, derived from the Old French Aveline meaning 'wished for child' or possibly from the Hebrew name Eve. Eibhlin is pronounced roughly as 'AV-leen' or 'EV-leen' in Irish.
Eibhlin preserves the authentic Gaelic spelling of a name with centuries of history in Ireland — a meaningful choice for families who want to honor their Irish heritage with its true, original form.
EtymologyShow more
Eibhlin first shows up in U.S. Social Security records in 2007. A twenty-first-century entry, Eibhlin belongs to the newest generation of American names — often coined, blended, or borrowed from international sources.
Its Irish classification suggests a path from irish linguistic traditions into American usage, though the specific route — whether through immigration, literature, or cultural exchange — would require deeper historical research.
