Dilen is in Origin.

Dilen is a modern, largely unisex given name, most often treated as a streamlined respelling of Dylan or Dillon. Via Dylan it links to Welsh elements often parsed as dy + llanw, “great tide/flow,” and to the sea‑linked figure Dylan ail Don in medieval lore. Via Dillon it touches the surname tradition from Norman French de Léon (“of Léon,” Brittany), later naturalized in Ireland.

As a contemporary variant, its spelling family is broad: Dylan, Dillon, Dilan, Dyllan, Dylen, Dillen, Dilin. In Turkish and Kurdish contexts, the near‑homophone Dilan means “heart” or “festivity,” a nuance some families apply to Dilen. Meanings thus range from “sea, tide/child of the sea” to warmer readings about heart and joy. Use rose in the late 20th century; today Dilen remains uncommon yet familiar.
