Noble, bright, or light
Alyne is a variant of Aline, which itself evolved from Adeline or Adelaide. It carries the Germanic root for 'noble' but has also been associated with the Greek word for 'light' through its similarity to Helen. It is a rare, elegant choice that feels both vintage and modern.
