Dyllon is Welsh in Origin.
Dyllon is a modern English respelling of Dylan, the Welsh given name linked to Welsh mythology (Dylan ail Don), interpreted from dy “great” + llanw “tide, flow,” yielding meanings such as “great tide” or “son of the sea.” Through similarity and sound, it also intersects with Dillon, a medieval Anglo-Irish surname-turned-forename of Norman-French origin (de Léon), which helped popularize Dylan-like spellings in the British Isles and North America.
Used as a given name in the wider English-speaking world since the mid-20th century, Dyllon remains the least common of the Dylan/Dillon family, gaining visibility alongside the fame of poet Dylan Thomas and musician Bob Dylan. Common variants include Dylan, Dillon, Dilan, Dyllan, and Dylon; feminine or unisex forms appear as Dylan, Dylann, and Dillan. The compact nickname Dyl is customary. Overall, Dyllon carries maritime, lyrical associations with a contemporary twist.
