Jelin is in Origin.

Jelin is a modern cross-cultural given name with several plausible sources. In English-speaking usage, it sits within the Jaylin/Jaelyn/Jalen family, a late-20th-century wave of J- plus -lin/-lyn blends. As such, it can be read as J + Lynn, with Lynn ultimately from Welsh llyn meaning “lake” or “waterfall,” or as a pared-down spelling variant of Jalen, popularized in the 1990s.

Outside this trend, Jelin also appears in Filipino and other Southeast Asian naming traditions as a Je- + -lyn creation, and more rarely as a Slavic surname-derived given name related to Jelen “deer.” The name is used for all genders, tending feminine in -lyn contexts and masculine when tied to Jalen. Variants and cognates include Jelyn, Jelynn, Jaelin, Jaelyn, Jaylin, Jalen, and Jalin. Meaning depends on the chosen origin, often interpreted as “lake/waterfall” or simply a stylish modern coinage.
