Meaning:
Of Shea; Gift; Good, favorable
Shaelyn is a girl’s name of Irish origin, meaning “of Shea” or “gift,” and comes from the names Shea, Shay, and Séaghdha, which might be derived from ségda, an Old Irish expression for something “good” or “favorable.” A great gift indeed, Shaelyn—in all the silver-toned suppleness of its “Sh” sounds and elongated vowels—sings a soothing lullaby to the ears. While little Shaelyn might be bashful or shy, there’s no doubt about the peace and serenity hidden in the quiet hush of their name.
