An uncommon Old English pick — distinctive and rare.
Tylan is a boy's and girl's baby name of Old English origin, likely a variant of Tyler, from the occupational surname meaning 'tile maker' or 'one who tiles roofs.'
A creative respelling that blends the popular Tyler with names ending in -an (like Dylan and Rylan), Tylan has carved out a niche among parents who want something that sounds familiar but reads as distinctive. Its rhythm fits naturally alongside other popular American boy names of its era.
Tylan climbed 278 spots in the last 20 years — from #1378 to #1100.
