Myelin, of Greek origin, signifies 'of the mar' and is derived from the word 'myelos', meaning marrow. This name is unique and not commonly found in the top lists of popular baby names. It has a distinct, scientific ring to it due to its association with myelin, the protective sheath that surrounds nerve fibers in the body. As such, it could be a fitting choice for parents who appreciate uniqueness or have an affinity towards science, particularly neuroscience or biology. The name Myelin is not gender-specific and can be used for either boys or girls. It has a modern, progressive feel to it and may appeal to those seeking a distinctive, lesser-known name for their child.
"In 2023 alone, five children were named Myelin."
