Meaning & origin
Garlin is a rare name that first entered U.S. birth records in 1912, and it has remained exceedingly uncommon ever since. In its peak year, 1912, it was used just a few times and has not appeared in any top-1,000 rankings. The name has no recorded top states or notable bearers. Its trajectory is stable at near-zero usage, and it has shown no signs of revival in later decades. Given its obscurity, Garlin is likely a variant of the more familiar Garland or a modern coinage combining Gar (as in Gary) with -lin, a popular suffix in the early 20th century.
