"Blend of Jac and Lyn"
The name Jakelyn is commonly a female name from the "American" origin.
Jakelyn is a modern American formation that joins the element Jac, as seen in Jack and Jacqueline, with the suffix -lyn, an ending used in many American girls' names from the mid twentieth century onward. It first appears in United States birth records in 1991, a date consistent with that kind of constructed form rather than an inherited name with an earlier history in another language.
The pronunciation of Jakelyn is JAYK-lin.
