Dyllan Origin and Meaning

The name Dyllan is a boy's name.

Dyllan is a masculine name that represents a spelling variation of Dylan, which has Welsh origins meaning 'son of the sea' or 'born from the ocean.' In Welsh mythology, Dylan was a sea god. This alternative spelling with double 'l' emerged as parents sought to create distinctive versions of popular names. The traditional Dylan gained significant popularity in English-speaking countries during the late 20th century, partly due to the fame of poet Dylan Thomas and musician Bob Dylan. While the Dyllan spelling remains less common, it offers the same strong, melodic qualities of the original with a subtly unique presentation. The name conveys associations with nature, creativity, and a free-spirited character.
