Leylan is in Origin.

Leylan is a modern, cross-cultural given name whose sound and spelling suggest connections to several traditions. It most readily echoes Arabic–Persian Leila/Leyla, from layl “night,” while also overlapping with the English surname–given name Leland, from Old English leah “clearing, meadow” + land. The near-forms Lelan and Leilan are documented as given names, and Leylan is sometimes treated as a streamlined cousin of Hawaiian-influenced Leilani.

Use of Leylan is rare but steadily visible in contemporary records, often chosen for its sleek look and as a gender-flexible alternative to more familiar names. Meanings vary by etymological path: if read as a Leila variant, “night”; if aligned with Leland, “meadow land.” As a deliberate blend, some read it poetically as “night meadow.” Variants and related forms include Lelan, Leilan, Leylen, Leylann, Leyla/Leila, Leland, and Leilani.
