Mandalin is of Greek origin and means 'apple garden'. This name has a unique, charming sound that sets it apart from more common names. It's composed of two elements: 'mandela', which means 'apple' in Greek, and '-lin', a suffix often used to form feminine names. Mandalin was popularized by the French author Anatole France in his novel "The Crime of Sylvestre Bonnard". The name has since gained international recognition, though it remains relatively rare. It's often associated with sweetness and fruitfulness due to its connection to apples.
"Mandalin is a rare name, with only five babies given this name annually in 1979."
