EYES-lin

Eislyn is a modern coinage, and it's often said to mean "dream" or "vision" — but that meaning actually belongs to the distinct Irish name Aisling, which Eislyn may echo in sound. Eislyn itself has no attested Celtic lexical root, so there's no meaning behind it. If you're drawn to the name, it's the sound and the Aisling echo doing the work, not a documented definition.
