Malyn is English in Origin.
Malyn is a modern given name with intertwined lines: primarily a variant of Scandinavian Malin, which is a contracted form of Magdalena/Magdalene, meaning "woman from Magdala" (from Hebrew migdal, "tower"). It also converges with Slavic-rooted Malin/Malina (“raspberry”), familiar through the Ukrainian place-name Malyn, and with the productive English -lyn suffix that has shaped many contemporary coinages. Usage today is rare and primarily feminine.
As a personal name, Malyn echoes medieval English Malyne, attested in Chaucer, showing long-standing currency of the Malin/Malyne pattern in the British Isles. In Scandinavia, Malin has been steadily popular since the early modern period; Malyn appears as a stylistic variant in English-speaking countries from the late 20th century. Related forms and spellings include Malin, Malynn, Maelyn, Maylin, Malina, and Malen; nicknames include Mal, Mali, and Lyn.
