Hlin ("protectress") is the Old Norse goddess of consolation and protection — one of Frigg's handmaidens, sent to shield those her queen wished to save from danger. Mentioned in the Poetic Edda.
Rare but evocative in Norse studies.
Hlin 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.
In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Hlin reduce to 7, The Seeker. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
