A Welsh name gently fading from the charts.
Taelyn is a girl's and boy's baby name of Welsh origin, a variant of Taelin or Taylor (Old French, 'tailor') with the Celtic -lyn ending (Welsh, 'lake'). It has a flowing, contemporary sound that places it naturally among modern feminine names with musical endings.
Taelyn climbed 1098 spots in the last 20 years — from #3619 to #2521.
