Kalyn is a girl’s name of American origin. As a variant of Greek Katherine, Kalyn translates to “pure,” “clean,” and “clear” from katharos, or “each of the two” from Hekate, and is an alternative spelling of the name Kaylyn. It may also simply be a blend of the phonetic elements kay and lyn. The name can also be traced back to Scottish roots, where it existed mainly as a last name meaning “son of Calum.” Kalyn carries with it a fresh spin on tradition, allowing you to pay tribute to any Scottish roots your family may have.
