Odalyn is English in Origin.

Odalyn is a modern feminine given name, most likely formed by pairing the Germanic/Norse root od/odal - “ancestral heritage, inherited wealth” (cf. Old Norse óðal; seen in Odile, Odette, Odalys) - with the contemporary -lyn ending. The name shows sporadic use in the United States and Spanish-speaking communities from the late 20th century onward, aligning with the popularity of -lyn names and the visibility of the related Spanish form Odalys. Though not found in medieval records itself, it echoes the long history of the Od-/Ot- name family (Odilia, Ottilia).

Meaning usually centers on “heritage” or “wealth,” with some parents also connecting it to Odelia, which can carry the Hebrew sense “I will praise God.” Variants and relatives include Odalynn, Odelyn, Odelynne, Odaline, Odeline, Odalys, Odelia, Odilia, Odette, and Odile. Informal short forms include Oda, Odie, Dali, Lyn, and Lina.
