Kaylan

Meaning of Kaylan

Pronounced KAY-lan, Kaylan emerges from the mist of ancient Irish hills where the name Caolán – “slender” or “graceful” – was whispered by wandering bards. Over time, this Gaelic jewel found new life in modern America, sparkling as a unisex choice that balances gentle strength with effortless style. Like a ribbon of light dancing across a calm río al amanecer, Kaylan weaves warmth and vitality, evoking the soft strum of a guitarra and the bright sonrisa of niño y niña por igual. It first tiptoed onto U.S. baby-name lists in the 1970s, pirouetted to its late-’90s peak, and today rests around the 900s—so you won’t be lost in endless spelling labyrinths. For families seeking a name steeped in historia yet shining with fresh encanto, Kaylan feels like a abrazo: timeless, radiant, and utterly único.
