Meaning & origin
Jillaine is a rare and modern feminine name that first appeared in U.S. records in 1945. It reached its peak in 1967, but never cracked the top 1,000 names in any year, remaining a low-frequency choice. Its trajectory has been stable, with very few annual births. The name is a blend of familiar sounds from Jill and Elaine, reflecting a mid-century trend of creating new names by combining established favorites. Jillaine has no strong association with any particular state or region.
Jillaine is a modern coinage, first recorded in the mid-20th century. It appears to be a combination of the names Jill (itself a diminutive of Gillian, derived from Latin Iuliana, feminine of Iulius) and Elaine (the Old French form of Helen, from Greek Helene, meaning 'torch' or 'moon'). The name saw modest use in the 1960s, peaking in 1967, but never entered the top 1,000 in U.S. Social Security data.
