Path, roadway, or lane
Derived from the English word for a narrow path or roadway, it originally served as a topographic surname for someone living near a lane. It is also considered a variant of the Estonian name Laine, which means 'wave'. In English-speaking contexts, it is often chosen for its sleek, single-syllable sound.
