Palladin Origin and Meaning

The name Palladin is a boy's name.

Palladin is a masculine name derived from the medieval term 'paladin,' which referred to the legendary twelve peers or champions of Charlemagne's court in European literature. The name evokes images of chivalry, heroism, and noble character. While the traditional spelling is 'paladin' with one 'l,' this variation adds distinctiveness. The name carries associations with courage, honor, and knightly virtues, making it appealing to parents drawn to names with heroic connotations. Though rare in everyday use, Palladin shares qualities with other medieval-inspired names like Galahad or Lancelot. Its uncommon nature makes it stand out while still providing the wearer with a name rich in historical resonance and positive attributes.
