Allyne is a unique and distinctive given name of Latin origin, derived from the masculine name Alan. It is composed of two elements: 'Ail', meaning 'noble' or 'chief', and '-an', which signifies 'little'. Thus, Allyne translates to "Little Noble One". While traditionally associated with males as a variant of Alan, it has been increasingly adopted for females in recent times, adding a touch of uniqueness and individuality. It is often spelled Alyne but maintains the pronunciation /'aɪlɪn/.
The name Allyne experienced significant fluctuations in popularity over the years, with a notable peak during World War I. Between 1912 and 1926, there were consistently high numbers of babies named Allyne, reaching a peak of 21 births in 1917. However, this popularity did not continue into the later decades; from 1930 onwards, the name became much less common, with fewer than 10 births per year recorded. The most recent years available show that the name Allyne has remained relatively steady but infrequent, with five births each in 1991, 1994, and 1998. In total, there were 505 babies named Allyne over the course of these years.
