Zaylon
Meaning of Zaylon
Zaylon is a modern masculine name of distinctly American origin, likely coined by blending the biblical “Zion,” which evokes a lofty summit, with the masculine suffix “-lon,” resulting in a crisp, two-syllable form. Pronounced ZAY-luhn (/zeɪˈlən/), it aligns with contemporary Anglo-American naming trends that favor fresh yet accessible sounds. Since first appearing in U.S. Social Security records in the early 2000s, Zaylon has consistently ranked among the top 1,000 boy names, with annual occurrences ranging from 19 to 32 in recent years and positions clustered in the mid-800s to low-900s. Though still relatively uncommon—few enough that parents need not worry about overcrowded birthday parties—its steady presence suggests an understated confidence and lasting appeal.
