Likely a modern variant of Kylan, meaning narrow land
Khylan is a modern American invention, most likely a stylized variation of Kylan or Cillian. While its exact roots are contemporary, it is often associated with the Gaelic word 'caol', referring to a narrow strait or channel of water. It follows the popular trend of combining 'Ky' sounds with the 'lan' suffix.
