What is the meaning of the name Parlyn ?

The baby name Parlyn is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈpɑr.lɪn/ (PAR-lin).

Parlyn is English in Origin.

Parlyn is a modern English given name, likely coined by blending the familiar -lyn ending with the Gaelic personal name Parlan (source of the surname MacFarlane), itself related to Bartholomew. In this reading, it ultimately ties to the Aramaic Bar-Talmai, “son of Talmai” or “furrowed.” Others view it as a respelling of the rare English surname Parlin, or simply an attractive -lyn formation where Lynn carries the sense “lake” from Welsh llyn/Old English hlynn. Because of its recent coinage, its meaning is interpretive rather than fixed.

Usage is very rare and chiefly seen in North America from the late 20th century onward, with a contemporary, gently feminine feel though usable as unisex. Not found in major historical popularity lists, it remains distinctive. Variants and related forms include Parlin, Parlynn, Parlynne, Parlen, and Parlan; nicknames range from Par/Pari to Parly and Lyn.
