Slender or narrow; descendant of Caolán
Keylan is a modern phonetic variant of the Irish name Keelan or Caolán. It is derived from the Gaelic word 'caol', which translates to slender, narrow, or fine. While it has gained some traction as a contemporary American invention, its roots are firmly planted in Irish patronymic traditions.
