Likely a variant of Mahlon, meaning sickly or mild.
Maylon is most commonly used as a modern spelling variant of the biblical name Mahlon. In the Old Testament, Mahlon was the first husband of Ruth; while its etymological roots suggest 'weakness' or 'mildness', it is often chosen today for its soft, melodic sound. It may also function as a surname-derived name in some English-speaking traditions.
