Shaylyn

Shaylyn is a Gaelic name traditionally given to babies of a specific gender. It is derived from the Gaelic Shayla, which means 'admirable', or 'from the fairy palace'. Therefore, the meaning of Shaylyn is 'from the fairy palace'. It is a derivative of Shay in Irish and Hebrew, where it means 'stately' or 'gift'. Another etymological development suggests that the Irish Shay combined with the common suffix lyn/leen/lene to form Shaylyn. This makes the name an Anglicized variant of the Irish Gaelic name Séaghdha, which means 'stately', 'courteous', 'majestic', 'scientific', 'learned', 'clever', or 'hawk-like'. Also, as a variant of the American Shaylynn, it combines Shay and Lynn, meaning 'beautiful hawk'.
