About Rylann
Inspired by the popularity of Rylan and Ryan, Rylann is a feminine leaning form, which blends in the classic Ann. Given to just 20 girls a year, it is far less popular than the Rylan spelling.
If derived from the Old English Ryland, Rylann could simple mean "rye land", though it could also be considered a modern creation, made up by borrowing the "Ry" from Ryan, linking it back to the Irish rí , giving it the meaning "king's land".
Rylann is also given to boys, where it ranks #11740 in the US.
Pronounced RY-lann.
As of October 2026, Rylann ranked #6781 for girls and #11740 for boys in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #3915 for girls in 2016 and #7450 for boys in 2017.
