Settlement of the bell; or a variant of Baylan
Baylon is a rare surname-turned-given name with likely roots in Old English or French. It may derive from a locational surname referring to a 'bell house' or settlement, or it could be a variant of the French name Baylan. In some contexts, it is associated with Saint Pascal Baylon, a 16th-century Spanish friar whose surname became a given name in his honor.
