Modern invented name, possibly meaning bird or healer.
Jailon is a contemporary American name likely created as a phonetic variation of Jalen or a combination of Jay and the suffix -lon. While its exact roots are modern, it is often associated with the Greek word 'iaomai' meaning to heal, or the Latin 'galbulus' via the name Jay.
