This is my sister's name; and for her it's pronounced Elle-in. We're Welsh and know a lot of Elins.

Finding this to be a nice name, and if these other comments are anything to go by, natives certainly seem to agree, haha.
I've heard a lot of people pronouncing it in Swedish something like "EH-a-lin" with the 'eh' and 'a' being that of a diphthong. Though, that may be more of a dialect thing.

This was my beloved grammy's name and it's pronounced like ay-lin, not ee-lin like Tiger's wife, what's- her-face. I have no idea where that pronunciation came from.
