Army land or grey meadow
Harlyn is a modern English name likely derived from the Old English elements 'here' meaning army and 'land' meaning land. It is also frequently interpreted as a variation of Harlan, which refers to a grey meadow or rocky land. In recent years, it has emerged as a feminine alternative to traditional surname-style names.
