Meaning & origin
Angelyne is a modern American invention, a blend of Angela and the popular 'lyne' suffix that emerged in the early 20th century. It first appeared in U.S. Social Security records in 1917, though it has never cracked the top 1,000 nationally. Its peak year of usage was 2007, reflecting a broader trend of fanciful, lyrical names for girls. Despite its low overall frequency, the name has maintained a stable presence, with a trajectory classification of 'stable' and no recorded top-state preferences.
