Meaning & origin
Xylina is a rare modern invention, first recorded in the United States in 1970. It reached its highest usage in 1988, but even then it never entered the top 1000. Its trajectory has been stable but extremely low, with an estimated one-in-a-million frequency for recent births. The name appears to be a creative variation of Selina or Xena, possibly influenced by the Greek root 'xylon' meaning 'wood.' No top states are associated with its use, likely due to its rarity. Xylina remains an uncommon, distinctive choice that has not seen a revival in any decade.
