The first name 
Caelyn

Caelyn is a female first name. In very rare cases it is also used for boys.

Caelyn is a well-known but special name!

Caelyn is a well-known name in the US, but is still special. It is currently only given to every ten thousandth girl, and therefore ranks at 2,002 in the SmartGenius statistics. This means there are 2,001 girls names that are more common, but also tens of thousands that are much rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Caelyn.

Caelyn -
ahead of the curve

In fact, the name Caelyn did not fit the trend of the last century. Young parents in the 2000s began to change that a bit. After several years of not being given at all (or less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), Caelyn seemed to be more popular than ever in 2012. Although the name never ranked higher than #1,145, 198 parents chose it that year, making it a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Caelyn, you are well on your way to becoming en vogue.

In years where the graph has no value, the name Caelyn was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
