What is the meaning of the name Dylane ?

Dylane is Welsh in Origin.

Dylane is a modern, French-leaning spelling of Dylan, the Welsh name borne by a sea-linked figure in medieval legend. The etymology is often parsed as dy “great” + llanw “tide, flow,” giving the sense “great tide” and, by extension, “son of the sea.” The final -e reflects French orthography and can suggest a feminine form, though Dylane functions as a unisex choice and typically shares Dylan’s pronunciation.

Dylan rose to wide Anglophone use in the mid-20th century, propelled by poet Dylan Thomas and later by singer Bob Dylan, and the Dylane variant has gained traction in France, Belgium, and Québec since the 1990s as a contemporary twist. Related spellings include Dylan (standard), Dylann, Dyllan, and the largely unrelated Dillon (an Irish surname now used as a given name). Some also encounter Dylanne. Dylane preserves the same sea-evoking meaning; not to be confused with Kurdish Dilan.
