Meaning & origin
Kaylina is a rare, modern name that first entered U.S. birth records in 1987. It reached its peak popularity in 2007, when it was given to a small number of baby girls. Since 2019, its usage has been falling. In 2025, it ranked 10,107th nationally, with approximately 1 in every 178,585 newborn girls receiving the name. Kaylina likely originated as a creative blend of the popular name Kayla (itself a form of Sheila or Michaela) and the fashionable suffix -ina. It has never been concentrated in any particular state, reflecting its sparse but widespread use. As a modern coinage without deep historical roots, Kaylina appeals to parents seeking a unique and melodic feminine name.
Kaylina appears to be a modern invented name, likely formed by combining the popular name Kayla (itself a variant of Sheila or Michaela) with the feminine suffix -ina. It first appears in U.S. birth records in 1987, during a period when many similar -ina names (e.g., Angelina, Paulina) were also popular. The name has never been common, but its usage peaked in the late 2000s.
