elyne is in Origin.
Elyne is a delicate variant that bridges several European forms of the Helen/Elaine family. Its primary root is Greek Helene, often translated "torch," "light," or "shining one," which passed into Old French as Elaine and into medieval spellings such as Eline and Elyne found in English, Scots, and Low Countries records. Some lines of use also intersect with Irish Eibhlín (anglicized Eileen) and the Norman name Aveline, giving secondary senses like "little hazel" or "desired," which explain the mixed meanings attached to the name today.
The spelling Elyne appears sporadically from the 15th to 17th centuries, then faded before seeing quiet modern revival. Today it reads as a contemporary, streamlined twist on Elin/Eline and Elaine, attractive for its familiarity with rarity. Related forms and variants include Elin, Eline, Elina, Elene, Elaine, Elayne, Elyn, Elynn, and Aline; common nicknames are Ellie, Lina, and Lyn.
