Kaylon
Kaylon Origin and Meaning
Kaylon is a modern given name that can be used for either gender, though it appears more frequently as masculine. The name may have developed as a variation of Kalon (from Greek καλόν meaning 'beauty' or 'good'), or as a blend of the popular prefix 'Kay-' with the suffix '-lon' found in names like Waylon. Another possibility is that it emerged as a variation of Caylon or Kalen/Kalan. The name first appeared in U.S. naming records in the mid-to-late 20th century and represents contemporary naming trends that favor distinctive sounds and spellings. Kaylon has a modern, melodic quality that fits with parents' increasing preference for unique names with appealing sounds. While not among the most common names, it has maintained consistent usage in recent decades.
