What is the meaning of the name (Alin), and is it permissible to name someone with it?

The word "aleen" (ألين), with the aforementioned diacritics, is a present tense verb derived from "softness" (layyina), meaning the opposite of harshness. It is used in classical Arabic and some colloquial dialects. If it is a proper noun, it appears to be foreign, and one should not name with it until its meaning is known, as it may carry connotations that contradict religion and morals.
