Kaelan is a feminine name (though also used for boys) with Gaelic roots, likely a variant spelling of Caelan or Kaelin. In its original form, it derives from the Gaelic "Caolán," meaning "slender" or "narrow." This modern spelling gives the traditional name a contemporary update while maintaining its Celtic heritage. The name has gained modest popularity since the 1990s, appealing to parents drawn to Irish and Scottish names but seeking something less common. Kaelan has a gentle, flowing sound that feels both strong and soft simultaneously. Its relatively gender-neutral quality makes it versatile in today's naming landscape.
