My name is Kelin, the Irish spelling of this name. In Irish it means 'slender' and I find it really interesting to see it spelled this way.

I found my name here on this website and had never heard of anyone having the same name. My father's name is Cesar and my mother's name is Lynda. They took the Ce and Lyn and just put it together. That is crazy that there is a real meaning to my name. After all these years.
