Eadlyn is an uncommon yet striking female given name of unknown origin, though some speculate it might be derived from Old English elements meaning "noble" and "battle." It first gained attention in recent years due to its use as the protagonist's name in Kiera Cass's dystopian young adult novel series, "The Selection." This exposure has contributed to a slight increase in its usage, making it a unique choice for parents seeking an distinctive yet elegant name for their daughter.
Eadlyn has seen a consistent number of births over the years with five babies being named Eadlyn each in both 2017 and 2020, resulting in a total of ten little princesses sharing this unique name.
