Daylin is English in Origin.

Daylin is a modern, largely American given name, pronounced DAY-lin, with several plausible sources. Many treat it as a blend of the English word day (from Old English daeg, "daylight") plus the diminutive ending -lin/-lyn, yielding a bright, contemporary meaning like "of the day" or "daylight." Others view it as a creative respelling influenced by Dylan and the -lin/-lyn trend in names, in which case it can echo Dylan’s Welsh sense of "sea, tide."

It rose in U.S. usage in the late 1990s and 2000s alongside Jaylin, Kaylin, and Braylin, and functions as a true unisex choice. Common variants include Daylen, Daylan, Daylyn, Daelyn, Dailyn, Daylinn, and the more masculine Daylon; related spellings such as Dayleen and Daylynne also appear. The name’s modern coinage means there is no single traditional saint or literary namesake, but its clean sound and adaptable spelling keep it current.
