Selyn is of Scottish origin and means "beautiful, fair". It is derived from the Gaelic word 'seil', which translates to "fair-haired" or "peaceful". The name has a feminine elegance, combining the sounds of Selene (Greek goddess of the moon) and Helen (a classic Greek name). Selyn is an uncommon yet distinctive choice for a first name.
"Selyn was quite popular in 2007 with five newborns sharing this unique name."
