Meaning

moon halo, of the moon

The story

Aylin is a lovely Turkish name built on ay, the word for moon, and it is usually translated as moon halo or belonging to the moon, that soft ring of light around the moon on a clear night. The moon runs deep through Turkish naming, a symbol of beauty and calm, and Aylin carries that gentle glow. It has spread well beyond Turkey, embraced by families across the Middle East, Latin America and the United States, helped along by its appearance in popular television. Its sound is soft and modern and needs no translating to feel pretty. In the United States Aylin has been rising and reads as current as it has ever been. Delicate, luminous and easy to say in almost any language, Aylin hands a child a piece of the night sky, the quiet silver light that rings the moon.

Poland

In Poland, 8 girls named Aylin were born in 2025, the 381st most common name among girls that year.
The count never rose above 8 in a year, too few to chart.

First names given to children born in Poland by year of birth, 2000–2025, from the PESEL population register (Ministry of Digital Affairs); exact spellings count separately (Łukasz and Lukasz are different names), names given fewer than 5 times in a year were left off the list through 2012 and fewer than 2 times from 2013, and the register also counts children born abroad, so its yearly sums run above Poland’s live births. Shares divide by the register’s own published total for the year, never by births. This registry counts each spelling separately; the figures above are for the exact spelling Aylin, and accented spellings are separate names.

Montevideo City

last on record 2010

Aylin is not on the 2011 record for Montevideo, whose registry withholds nothing, so the spelling was not given there that year.
The count never rose above 5 in a year, too few to chart.

Births in the department of Montevideo (not all of Uruguay) by first name and year of birth, 1940–2011, from the city’s civil registry, which writes names in capitals, almost always without accents; counted as spelling groups (accent and punctuation variants merged), nothing is withheld at source, and 2012 is excluded as a partial year. Source: Servicio de Registro Civil, Intendencia de Montevideo, Partidas de Registro Civil de Montevideo (Licencia de Datos Abiertos - Uruguay); 2012 dropped as partial

Not on the record in Puerto Rico, New Zealand and Scotland: those registries withhold small counts, so rare uses may sit below their floors.
