Zylas

Rare modern variation, likely related to Silas meaning of the forest

Zylas is a contemporary American invention, most likely created as a stylistic variant of the traditional name Silas. By replacing the 'S' with a 'Z', it gains a more modern, edgy appeal while retaining the soft phonetic roots of the Latin Silvanus. It is often associated with nature and the woods due to this etymological connection.
