What is the meaning of the name Lann ?

The baby name Lann is a Unisex name , 1 syllables long and is pronounced LAN (rhymes with 'man'),LAHN (rhymes with 'lawn').

Lann is Breton, Irish, Vietnamese, Welsh in Origin.

Lann is a compact, unisex given name with layered Celtic and English roots. In Irish Gaelic, lann denotes a blade or spearhead, a poetic byword for keenness and valor. In the Brittonic branch (Breton lann, Welsh llan), it referred to a sacred enclosure or early church, familiar from place-names; this strand lends connotations of refuge and community. Some bearers also use Lann as a streamlined form of names beginning with Lan, such as Lancelot or Landon, or as a surname-derived choice linked to Lane.

Documented as a common noun and toponymic element in medieval Irish and Breton sources, Lann appears only sporadically as a given name until modern times, when minimalist, one-syllable names revived it. Variants and related forms include Lan, Lanny (pet form), Lanne, and phonetic cousins Lynn/Linn; note that Vietnamese Lan is unrelated and means "orchid."
