Son of Berl; borderland or marshland
Berlyn is a modern variant of Berlin or a feminine elaboration of the German name Berl. It likely derives from the West Slavic word 'berl', meaning swamp or marsh, or as a patronymic 'son of Berl'. In a modern context, it is often chosen as a place-name tribute to the German capital.
