What does Keylin mean?

Historical Context
Keylin appears to be a recent English-language spelling, probably shaped by names such as Kaylin, Kaylen, Kaelyn and Kailyn. Those related forms have several proposed influences, including Kay and names associated with Caitlin, but there is no consistent historical evidence linking the exact spelling Keylin to one traditional root. Its use is therefore best described as modern rather than as a direct form of an older name.
