ArchivesBreslyn
A friend of mine just had her second child and named her Breslyn. I had never heard it before, she said she was in a restaurant and heard a mother call her daughter that. Does anyone know anything about it, or is it one of those made up names, or perhaps a surname?? Thanks.

Not sure about the Bres, but 'lyn' in a name usually refers to water of some kind. However, I have also heard it added arbitrarily to made up names. I'd like to know more to, does anybody know? Is it maybe Welsh?

Could it possibly come from the last name Breslin? I know of a man with this middle name but it comes from a surname.
This is all the information I could find on it.

I would tend to agree with Seda*. The first thing I thought when I saw Breslyn was it reminded me a lot of the surname Breslin. If I was unfamiliar with the name and heard it used on a girl I would probably assume it to be spelled Breslyn or Breslynn. I don't know much about the surname other than it's Irish and came from O'Brislain.

At Last, I've found you. How are you, friend? I haven't spoken with you in so long. How is that darling girl of yours? I still have that picture you sent me of her. How has Nan been? Mike C. said he was going to e mail you and her for me, but I hadn't heard anything. I hope to hear from you soon. I want to know what's been going on!

Looks much like the surname I found in my family tree recent, Breslin. I guess it could be a variant.
