Slender and fair; pure
Kailin is a modern phonetic coinage, often interpreted as a blend of the Irish name Kayley, meaning slender, and the name Lynn. It is also frequently associated with the Greek name Katherine, meaning pure. In some contexts, it is viewed as an anglicized variation of the Chinese name Kailin, which can mean jade forest depending on the characters used.
