Caylen

Meaning of Caylen

Caylen is a unisex name pronounced KAY-lin (/ˈkeɪlɪn/) that originates as a variant of the Irish Gaelic Caolán, meaning “slender” or “narrow.” Its clear, vowel-driven sound has also found favor in Spanish-speaking communities, where it echoes names like Cayetano. According to U.S. Social Security data, Caylen reached its highest visibility in the mid-1980s—briefly ranking around 800—before settling into the lower 900s; in 2024, nine American newborns received the name, placing it at 941st. By blending Celtic heritage with Latin-friendly phonetics, Caylen offers parents a contemporary choice grounded in multicultural tradition.
