Aileen, of Scottish and Irish origin, is a unique and elegant name that means 'fair' or 'bright'. It is derived from the Gaelic word 'Ailinn', which itself comes from 'aileach', meaning 'splendid'. Once popular in Scotland, Aileen was also brought to America by early immigrants. However, its usage has become less common over time, making it a distinctive choice for parents today seeking an uncommon yet beautiful name.
"Aileen saw five newborns welcome her into their world in the year 2011."
