Charlyne is French in Origin.
Charlyne is a modern feminine variant of Charlene and Charline, names ultimately derived from Charles, the French and English form of the Germanic Karl meaning “free man,” often rendered today as “free person.” The y-inflected spelling likely blends the French Charline with the English -lene/-leen ending, yielding pronunciations such as CHAR-leen in English or shar-LEEN in French-influenced settings.
Use in the United States surfaced in the early 20th century, tracking with surges for Charlene and Charlotte; it enjoyed modest mid-century visibility (c. 1930s–1960s) before retreating, and remains uncommon today while retaining a tailored, vintage feel. Variants and cognates include Charlene, Charline, Sharlene, Charleen, Charlyn/Charlynn, and the masculine root Charles; related feminines are Charlotte, Carla, and Carolina/Caroline. Nicknames range from Char and Charlie to Lyna/Lyn.
