Meaning & History

Modern form of the medieval name LEYN via its more modern (but still archaic) form LEIJN. This name has been used every year in at least the last 130 years, but was never overly common: the name was at its most popular in 1900, when 17 newborn boys were given this name. Also, in 2010, there were nearly 250 bearers in total in all of The Netherlands.
