Quilan
Quilan Origin and Meaning
Quilan is a masculine name with multiple possible origins. Most likely derived from the Irish surname Quillan or Cullen, it ultimately comes from the Gaelic 'Cuilleáin' meaning 'holly tree' or possibly 'handsome.' Alternative interpretations connect it to the word 'cuileann,' meaning 'darling.' The name may also have connections to the Spanish name Guillén. Quilan remains relatively uncommon in English-speaking countries, giving it a distinctive quality. The spelling variation with 'Qu' rather than 'K' adds a touch of uniqueness to this already rare name. Its Irish heritage combined with its modern sound makes it appeal to parents seeking a name that balances cultural roots with contemporary style. Common nicknames include 'Quil' or 'Quinn.'
