Dalyne is a rare modern given name in English-speaking countries, appearing sporadically from the late 20th century in U.S. and Canadian records.

Linguistically, Dalyne is most often read as a blend of Dale (from Old English dæl, “valley”) with the feminine suffix -ine, yielding the evocative meaning “valley.” It may also function as a feminine elaboration of the Irish surname Daly (Ó Dálaigh), tied to Irish dáil, “assembly” or “gathering,” offering an alternate sense of “one of the assembly.” Related and variant forms include Dalene, Daleen, Daline, Dailene, Daylene, Delyne, Delane, and Delaine. Pronunciations vary, commonly DAY-leen or dah-LEEN, depending on family preference.
