Meaning & origin
Alyne is a rare English name that first appeared in U.S. records in 1901. It reached its peak rank in 1905, but has been steadily falling out of use since around 2001. While exact one-in-N figures are unavailable due to low usage, the name's trajectory shows it has not appeared in the top 1000 in recent decades.
