What is the meaning of the name Iline ?

The baby name Iline is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ɪˈliːn/ (ih-LEEN); also heard as /iːˈliːn/ (ee-LEEN) or /aɪˈliːn/ (eye-LEEN).

Iline is in Origin.

Iline is an uncommon English spelling of Ilene/Eileen, the Anglicized Irish Eibhlín, which came via Norman French Aveline. Aveline likely stems from a Germanic av-/ab- root meaning “desired, wished‑for”; over time Eibhlín also merged with Helen (Greek Helene), so the name is often read as “light” or “torch.” Pronunciation typically mirrors Eileen: eye‑LEEN, with ih‑LEEN heard regionally.

Attested in early‑to‑mid‑20th‑century U.S. records, Iline saw modest use before fading, lending it a vintage, offbeat feel today. Variants include Ilene, Eileen, Aileen, and the Irish Eibhlín/Eibhlin; related medieval Aveline and later Evelyn share the same root. Parents may like Iline for its familiar sound, Celtic link, and blended senses of brightness and a longed‑for child. Outside North America, usage remains rare globally.
