NAME DETAILS

About the name

A modern coinage built from the surname/place name Oakley plus the popular feminine name-suffix "-lyn"; Oakley itself is documented as English, meaning "oak clearing." Oaklyn's own meaning rides on that root rather than being an independently coined word with its own definition.

Oakley (English surname/place-name source).
