Opalyne is English, Greek in Origin.

Opalyne is a modern elaboration of the gemstone name Opal, blended with the French/Latin -ine/-yne suffix meaning “of” or “pertaining to.” Opal itself traces to Sanskrit upala “jewel,” passing through Greek opallios and Latin opalus, and denotes the iridescent October birthstone.

Given names derived from jewels flourished in the late 19th and early 20th centuries in the English-speaking world, when Opal ranked alongside Ruby and Pearl. The related form Opaline also appears in 19th‑century French and English, influenced by fashionable “opaline” decorative glass, and survives as the most established variant.

Overall meaning centers on “jewel; opal-like radiance,” often associated with shifting color, delicacy, and creative light.
