Noble lake or pool
Eslyn is a rare name likely derived from a combination of the Germanic root 'adal' meaning noble and the Welsh 'llyn' meaning lake. It may also function as a modern elaboration of the name Esme or a variant of the Welsh name Aislyn. Its usage is extremely sparse, giving it a distinctive and contemporary feel despite its traditional roots.
