Tall or high ground; hawk
Talan is a name with multiple possible roots, most notably from the Cornish word for 'high' or 'tall ground'. It is also associated with the French word 'talon', referring to the claw of a bird of prey, specifically a hawk. In recent years, it has gained some traction as a modern variation of names like Talon or Jalen.
