minus-squarealcoholicorn@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up2·4 months agoI don’t think there’s any history, it was just popular in the midwest in the 2000s Caitlyn, Kaylin, Ashlin, Jaylin, Roselin, Jaquelin, Shaelin. Same with adding “leigh”
minus-squarebionicjoey@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up1·4 months agoThe English name suffix -in comes from the french name suffix -inne which is a feminine modifier. Eg. Jacques is a masculine name, Jacqueline is a feminine name.
