Dahlin is of Scandinavian origin, meaning 'petite' or 'delicate'. It is a unisex name but is more commonly used for males. The name Dahlin is composed of two elements: 'dagr', which means 'day' in Old Norse, and '-lin', a diminutive suffix often associated with Scandinavian names. Therefore, Dahlin can be interpreted as 'little day'. The name has been traditionally used in Sweden but has gained some international recognition in recent years. It is pronounced /ˈdɑːlɪn/.
