Ilyne is in Origin.

Ilyne is a contemporary variant spelling of Ilene/Eileen, a name that moved from Irish into English. Its core lineage traces to the Irish Gaelic Eibhlín, itself adapted from the Norman French Aveline brought to Ireland and Britain after the 12th century. Over time the family of forms also blended with Helen/Helena (Greek Helene). Because of that convergence, the name is widely interpreted as “bright, shining one” (from Helen), while scholars note an alternative medieval route through Aveline, derived from Ava, a Germanic element of uncertain meaning.

In English-speaking countries, Eileen rose strongly in the early–mid 20th century, with Ilene seen in mid-century U.S. records; Ilyne is a rare modern choice that preserves the familiar sound with a distinctive look. Related forms and variants include Ilene, Eileen, Aileen, Ailene, Ayleen, the Irish Eibhlín/Eibhlin, and the medieval Aveline; cognates and associated names include Helen and Helena.
