Neylson is in Origin.

Neylson is a modern Portuguese-language given name, most common in Brazil, formed as a stylistic respelling of English and Scandinavian patronymics such as Neilson, Nelson, and Nielsen. The inserted y reflects Brazilian preferences for -y- in contemporary names and helps approximate an [ei] vowel. As with its source forms, Neylson ultimately derives from a surname meaning “son of Neil/Niall” or “son of Niels.”

Its meaning therefore traces to two intertwined roots: Gaelic Niall, interpreted as “champion,” “passionate,” or “cloud,” and the Danish/Norwegian Niels from Greek Nikolaos, “victory of the people.” Surnames ending in -son moved into given-name use in the Anglophone world in the 19th–20th centuries and spread to Brazil, where creative variants flourished from the late 20th century. Related forms and spellings include Neilson, Nielson, Nielsen, Nelson, Nilson, Nailson, and Neílson. Common short forms are Ney and Neil.
