The name "Arlyn" does not have a clear or widely accepted etymology. It is considered a modern variant or a combination name, possibly developed in English-speaking countries. The name seems to have elements from different origins, which can lead to some possible interpretations.
One theory suggests that "Arlyn" could be a combination of the names "Arlene" and "Lynn". "Arlene" is of Irish origin and means "pledge" or "oath", while "Lynn" is of Old English origin and signifies "lake" or "waterfall".
