What is the meaning of the name Selyne ?

The baby name Selyne is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /səˈliːn/ (seh-LEEN),/ˈsɛlaɪn/ (SEH-line).

Selyne is French, Greek in Origin.

Selyne is a modern feminine given name likely formed by blending the Greek Selene and the French Celine. From Selene (Selene/Σελήνη), the name carries the luminous sense of “moon,” tied to the goddess who guides the night sky. From Celine, ultimately from Latin Caelina/caelum, it adds the sense of “heavenly” or “of the sky,” so Selyne can be read as moonlit or celestial.

While Selene and Celine have long histories - classical Greece and medieval France (borne by several saints named Celine) - the spelling Selyne itself is a contemporary, rare variant seen in English-speaking countries since the late 20th century, part of a trend toward inserting y to personalize familiar forms. Related variants include Selene, Selena, Selina; Celine, Celina, Seline; and modern Selyna or Selynn. Possible nicknames are Sel, Sely, Lina, Lene, or Leni.
