Dyllian is Welsh in Origin.

Dyllian is a modern elaboration of the Welsh name Dylan, derived from the elements dy “great” and llanw “tide, flow.” In Welsh legend, Dylan ail Don is a sea-born child whose nature is bound to the ocean, so the name is often interpreted as “great tide” or “son of the sea.” The Dyllian spelling, with its double l and -ian ending, gives the classic sound a stylized twist and an androgynous look that echoes names like Lillian or Gillian.

Use of Dylan expanded widely in the 20th century through the poet Dylan Thomas and the cultural reach of Bob Dylan, which in turn inspired a wave of creative spellings in English-speaking countries from the 1990s on. Dyllian remains rare but recognizable and is used for all genders, skewing masculine. Related forms include Dylan, Dyllan, Dillan, and Dillon (also an independent Irish surname–given name).
