Kellin

US Popularity Rank: 5507

Origin: Irish

Meaning: Slender

Those wanting to show baby their Irish pride will love the gender-neutral name Kellin. Similar to the more common form Kellen, it has the curious meaning of "slender." This name was quite popular during the 90s and early 2000s alongside Connor, Joshua, and Jacob. Twihards will recall the Twilight actor Kellan Lutz, who played Emmett Cullen, the strong and slightly overconfident brother to hunky Edward. Kellin is also an excellent choice for those seeking a more unisex alternative to Helen, Ellen, or Kelly.
