A name that means "courageous + waterfall (modern american compound)".

Rilynn is a modern American compound name combining Riley (Irish Raghallaigh, "courageous") with the -lynn feminine ending. A top-1000 US baby name since 2017. Rilynn Hadley — American gymnast. Rilynn Stark — American influencer. The name has no major celebrity bearer but emerged purely from the modern compound-name aesthetic — making it (like Brynlee, Adalynn, and Madelynn) a name created by 2010s-2020s naming trends rather than by any specific person or character. The Irish surname Raghallaigh historically refers to the courageous warrior-clans of Connacht province in western Ireland.

Where Rilynn stands.

Rilynn does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
