"Blend of Shay and Lynn"
The name Shailyn is commonly a female name from the "American" origin.
Shailyn is a modern American formation built from the name element Shay combined with the ending -lyn, the pattern seen in names such as Kaylyn and Jaylyn. It first appears in United States birth records in 1982, which is consistent with a twentieth-century coinage rather than an inherited name. Spellings of this kind are not fixed, and forms such as Shaylyn and Shalyn appear alongside it.
The pronunciation of Shailyn is SHAY-lin.
