Raylan
Meaning of Raylan
Raylan sparkles like the first sun-beam slipping over the ghats—born in the USA as a lively blend of “Ray” (a light-filled nod to Raymond) and the playful “-lan” ending that rolls off the tongue. He carries the meaning of “little ray of light,” yet thanks to sharply dressed U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens from the series Justified, he also wears a cowboy hat of cool confidence. In America his chart has danced steadily upward since the late 1970s, and today he cruises around the mid-500s, proving that parents still have a soft spot for names that sound both modern and timeless. Picture a tiny lad zig-zagging through a rangoli of bright colors—Raylan promises warmth, courage, and a dash of cinematic swagger, all wrapped up in two brisk syllables: RAY-lan.
