Girl name · 4 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Addilyn: 4 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 4 births in 2021.

Addilyn is a modern American invention, blending the popular suffix -lyn with the classic name Addie, itself a diminutive of Adelaide. Adelaide comes from the Old High German *Adalheidis*, meaning "noble kind" or "of noble birth." While no famous historical figures bear the exact name Addilyn, its roots connect to Saint Adelaide, the 10th-century Holy Roman Empress known for her piety and charitable works. The name shares its noble meaning with the Australian city of Adelaide, named after Queen Adelaide, wife of King William IV. Addilyn is a contemporary variant of the more established Addilynn, part of a broader trend of -lyn ending names that have surged in popularity since the 2000s, offering a fresh yet familiar sound.
