Island meadow or little king
Rhylan is a modern invented name, likely a blend of the Welsh name Rhys, meaning 'ardent' or 'king', and the English suffix -lan, often associated with 'land' or 'meadow'. It is frequently used as a variation of Rylan, which has roots in Old English. Its rise in popularity is part of the broader trend of 'Ry-' names and surnames used as given names.
