Quillan
Meaning of Quillan
Pronounced KWIL-uhn, Quillan stems from the Gaelic Ó Coileáin—“young hound”—imbuing it with a sense of woodland vigor and Celtic heritage. In Persian tradition, where the pen doubles as a blade of intellect, Quillan also evokes the elegant quill of a writer, marrying literary grace to the resolute spirit of its namesake. A review of US naming data reveals a modest peak at rank 720 in 1988, followed by a gradual descent into the mid-800s and 900s; in 2024, seven newborns received the name, ranking it 917th. Not exactly a mainstream champion, Quillan nevertheless appeals to parents who value a name that offers depth, originality and a touch of mythic resonance—much like a solitary falcon charting quiet arcs above ancient pines.
