Kalynne is a modern American invention, first recorded in U.S. Social Security data in 1987. Though it never broke into the top 1000, it saw modest use in the 1990s, reaching its peak in 1996.

Without a clear meaning or historical roots, Kalynne appeals to parents seeking a unique, phonetically pleasing name.
