Verlin meaning

My name is Verlin. I'm African-American born in '80 in Atlanta. My mom is from New York and when I asked where she came up with it, she replied that is was a famous football player with that name at the time and It'stuck... i've yet to find this guy. I havent met another Verlin either and people mispronounce it ALL thew time.

My dad's name is Verlin. He has always pronounced it "Ver-lin." He was born in 1921, during the "peak period" for this name. His older brothe's were named "Harold" and "Homer," so, I guess they all were given unusual names. i've never met another person with this name. Even'though it is unusual, which makes It'sort of special, no one has ever made fun of him because of his name, at least to my knowledge. The name does seem to give othe's trouble when it comes to pronouncing or spelling it (although It'seems pretty straight forward to me).

It is my name and I as many of the othe's have never met another Verlin but have heard of othe's. I often'tell people that you learn to answer to anything close as you are growing up.

My name is Verlin, I was given'this name because my 3 brothe's names started with a V, so my parents knew a Merlin and decided to change the m for a v. I always thought my name was made up, but have met 2 othe's with same name! It's a great conversational piece. Like othe's on this post I love my name! I was born March 26, 1983 in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, Canada!'

I WAS NAMED VERLIN IN 1973, AFTER A RESPECTED EDUCATOR AND BUSINESSMAN. IF I HAD A NICKEL FOR EVERY TIME I HAD BEEN CALLED VERNON, I'D BE QUITE WEALTHY. BEING AN UNUSUAL NAME, It's PRETTY TOUGH ON A KID.YOU LEARN TO DEFEND YOURSELF AT AN EARLY AGE. BUT LOOKING BACK, I FEEL It's BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR SOME POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT, INDEPENDENCE AND ARROGANCE. IN MY AREA, THERE ARE PROBABLY 3 MORE WITHIN ABOUT 600 SQ. MILES. THEY TEND TO BE IN THEIR 60'S. ANY MORE INFO ON THIS NAME AND It's ORIGIN, WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THERE WERE NO MORE VERLIN'S IN MY SCHOOL AND RARELY HAVE I'mET ANYONE THAT KNEW ANOTHER ONE.

I was told Verlin meant "true cloth" and was of Scottish origin. In my youth, I had a lisp and often pronounced the name Rolan. Teache's and students alike often laughed. My family moved to a different part of town when I was a Junior in high school. Our house was just around the corner from a Mom & Pop Malt shop. When I finally went around for a milkshake, I was shocked to see the proprietor's name on the glass window beside the front door. "Verlin Copas" was his name and we talked and laughed about our names and how people often mispronounced it.

My name is Verlin, and I was born in New Orleans, La., in 1943, named after my Uncle Verlin, my mother's brother. Except for two cousins with that name, I never met another Verlin, nor heard of one until this year. I did read columns in the NY Times by nature writer, Verlyn Klinkenborg. I never liked the name because we moved to Texas where they pronounced it in an ugly way. In Louisiana, the French inflection sounded nice, but Texans turned me off to my name, and I changed It'several times, the last time legally. I retain it as my middle name to honor my mother's brother and my mother's intent, but I have never grown to really like the name. It's hard to beli've that there have been more than two thousand Verlins in the US since 1880.

Hi! My name is Verlin and I'm a boy. It's a combination of my Father and my Mother's name.

My name is Verlin, born in 1947 in Indiana. I personaly know two othe's. I When I give my name, people have never heard of it before. I tell them that I am unique, one of a kind. I always get a smile out of that.

Good Morning ! Yep my name is also Verlin when I was a little younger'some people had a veryt hard time to pronounce the name and most of the time I would say app 40% of the time I have to pronounce the name again and maybe a 3rd time. This brings question like ( where did you get that Name ) or how do you spell your name ! The'short of this is I ask them if they have heard of Berlin, just drop the B and add a V and thats the ease way I found to let people know, i've always had good remnarks from people about my name. Of course my parents named me! I'm proud of my name enought to name my first son Verlin Jr., I'm now only 63 years of age and I would never think of changing my name of using another. It is different and hard to remember once learned they never forget and they can remember more about meeting you the first time than meeting most other common names I think.

my name is verlin too but I'm a girl. mya father'said the meaning of my name is 'two best friend', because he got this name from his two best friends 'vera' n 'Lina' he combine these two names become verlin...what a unique name i have :)

My name is Verlin, I'm young, born in 86, my experience with this name has been very pleasant, I love my name, it did cause problems for other people to spell or pronounce it, i've known one other but he'spelled it Verlyn, I grew up Amish, now I am a musician, upon research have found its origins are Latin

Hi all my name is verlin, im a girl and im from South Africa, now in my country you get alot of Vernon and verlon and verlyn but rarely verlin. Im not sure where my name is originated from but i would like to find out. i think my my parent love the country Berlin so much they just changed the B to a V. not sure at all.

Hello, everybody! Yes, my name is Verlin, and I'm the only one i've met. Right, it made for some character development as a kid. I'm now 61, into music, languages, horses. Watch for my CD; i've procrastinated long enough. Verlin Rau.

Its a brilliant name my husband is Verlin and would reccommend if i had a son to name him after that :-)

Hello to all the ❤️Verlin"s. My first name is also Verlin and was given'to me as a combination of my father's name "Vergel" and my mother's name "Lina". I never like it growing up but now I'm glad of my name. I am from the Philippines and born in 1990. Most of the Verlin i've met were women. I wonder if there is a history behind our names❤️

My name is Verlin and well It's pronounced Verl-lin, or thats how I pronounce it. i've yet to meet another person named Verlin, other than my uncle who died at a young age and thats why I'm named this. I like it, makes me unique and in school it was never confusing who I was, as there wasn't another one. People have trouble pronouncing and remembering it at first.

Hello everybody, my name is Verlin, It's my last name. Here in Finland this name is very unique.It is pronouncied as it is spelled. My family has had this name in this country about 200 hundred years, i've heard. I thought before, that family name Verlin came from Estonia (not very far away from skandinavian country Finland), because I know, that there exists a village called Verlin and it愀 used as a surname and family name there. Somehow It'sounds very swedish too and of course german, because of town Berlin.

My father's name is Joseph Verlin, my oldest brother is Verlin James and his first son is Verlin James. My nephew always use the name James until he got into high school....too many James playing sports and he'started using his first name Verlin. All his friends told him he'should have used it from the beginning...It's a cool name. I only know the people in my family with the name of Verlin.

This is my dad's nickname. His full name is Leoneildo (Portuguese) But I like Neil. I find it to be very chivalrous (sp❤️). I just think It's nice.

My last name is Verlin and my family originated supposedly from Liverpool, England. There are not very many people with the last name of Verlin in the U.S.

I named my cute puppy Verlin. It is so unique. I just love this name. It is so cute and old-fashioned. I love old fashioned names.

Hi all you Verln people out there, my name is Verlin too, I was born in 1979 and am a white man with French on my mother's side and English on my father's. My mother's father was named Verlin Robert Medfor... so I was named Verlin Robert Steele. I'm a Gemini so when people can't say my name I'make them chuckle by telling them "Tt's like Merlin but spelled with a Vee and I don't do tricks...(wait for it)... unless I'm paid!" ok, not that funny... but Gemini's can ramble on... I think we are a unique bunch and we should organize a meeting of the Verlin people.. My jokes, one liners, poetry and short stories that I write or make up on the'spot.. I call them VerlinI'ms...

My father was named Verlin (middle name-Forrest). His mother was indian(cherokee-I think) so if the commnent indicating ver-meaning-green, lin-meaning-meadow/green meadow and his middle name, he would have been green meadow forrest.How cool!

my name is verlin, it is a really special and unique name. it is pronounced as it is spelled.

Hey all u Verlin's. What a great unigue name that our parents named us. I always say that of the 10 children'that my parents named us, mine was the odd one. Now That I am in sales, it is a perfect name as no one else has it and it is easliy remembered. I was born June 3rd 1966. I was named in honor of a cousin who was born and died on June 3rd 1944. I have never met another Verlin in person, but I have herad of other Verlin's thru conversations with othe's. having a unique name was a challenge growing up, but now that I am an adult, I thank my parents ( and my aunt and uncle) for the wsidom of the name. If you are ever in western Nebraska, please look me up. we can have a great conversation. have a great day.

Verlin is my name too. Born in 1976. It has served me well, being unique and memorable. Never got a straight answer from parents as to hwo they chose the name.

Verlyn is my mother's name . Born in 1921 in Ontario Canada

Hi Everybody. My name is also Verlin. Not sure how that came to be, because it was my father's name and he/we are of Cherokee decent. Irish on mother's side. I was once told that Verlin is an combination of two Irish words: "Ver" meaning green and "lin" or "lyn" or "lynne" meaning meadow - or green meadow. Can anybody verify this❤️ Thanx - Verlin

hI'my name is verlin ivan colin courtney i think its irish or from franch and thr is place in franch calld verlin

It's actually my last name. I find that people tend to say "ver-lin" when it is really "verl-in". I tell people It's like the German capital, "Berlin", except with a "V".

What a great name. I have had mine since N0v 11 1969. So I was lucky three times. The name,the birth date (Veterans Day), and born the'same day as my grandmother. Oh- and I am a retired veteran. didn't use it until early twenties and a Scorpio to boot. I have met only three Zane's in my life. And we all are cool. Peace to all my brother Zane's.

My brother-in-law is named Verlin. My norwegian husband (Thor)is very curious about the origin of the name Verlin. He thinks it is German. Does anyone know❤️

Well, my mother named me after the Good Witch in the Wizard of Oz. I didn't appreciate the inherent fun in this name until well into adulthood. Everyone has a pleasant memory of this movie, i've never found anyone who didn't relate to it at a heart level. Inter'stingly, I have always been attracted to occult practices, ever'since I can remember and I feel like I selected this name to incarnate with so I could give myself every opportunity this time around to work magic in a positive way. Most people don't spell it right. But once they notice It's Glinda with an 'i' rather than an 'e', they get the pronounciation right.

My boyfriend's name is Verlind. But he'd sometimes want it without the D. It's actually a combination of both parents' names. When I first heard it, I thought it was a girl's name. But I love that name, nonetheless. We're from Asia by the way.

I think the name is great! My name is Verlin also. Pronounced Ver-Lin. But I am female.

I suspect that most of the people with this name were born within the Amish or Mennonite communities❤️

My name is Verlin and I'm a girl. I think my dad gave me that name just because he tried to find a similar name as my Chinese name, Vei-Ling. 95% of people never get my name right, sometimes I uses Linda or Lin when making reservation at restaurant or order take-out :)

My first name is Verlin, I was born in 1997. I got it from my grandmother who had a child named Verlin that died when he was 4. People always pronounce it wrong or say Vernon at first. I have yet to meet someone in real life named Verlin.
