Origin: French

Meaning: Blackbird

Myrleen is a beautiful feminine French name inspired by Merle and a variant of the old Latin word merula. As with merula, Myrleen also carries the meaning of "blackbird," a creature with unique characteristics and symbolic interpretations. It is a songbird and arguably the most loved of all European winged singers, certainly one of the most familiar. However, depending on how baby Myrleen views a glass filled to 50% capacity, the blackbird's symbolism can be seen in a negative or positive way. Baby will undoubtedly take the optimistic view and see the blackbird as a symbol of rebirth. And just like that, little Myrleen symbolizes a new beginning.
