What is the meaning of the name Kyllien ?

Kyllien is English in Origin.

Kyllien is a contemporary, stylized spelling related to the Irish name Cillian/Killian, and to the French Kylian. The root is most commonly traced to Irish cill "church" plus the diminutive -ín, giving the devotional sense "little church" or "monastery servant." Some scholars connect it instead to the older personal name Ceallach, associated with "strife/war" or "bright-headed," so the meaning is traditionally read either as pious or martial.

Use of the family dates to the 7th-century missionary St. Cillian (Kilian), martyred in Würzburg and long venerated across German-speaking Europe, which preserved Kilian/Killian as a classic. In Ireland the standard is Cillian; English adopted Killian; German and Central European forms favor Kilian; French popularized Kylian (and Kyliann) in recent decades. Variant spellings and feminines include Killiane and Kyliane. Kyllien itself is rare and modern, fitting contemporary tastes for y's and doubled letters while remaining anchored to a long, saintly tradition.
