Sylas

SIE-lus

Spelling variation of Silas

"of the woods"

Sylas Origin and Meaning

The name Sylas is a boy's name meaning "of the woods".

Appearing in the Polish New Testament and possibly working to honor a Sylvester, Sylas has been climbing back up the rankings in recent years. Previously peaking in 2013 at #520, it has since overtaken that, entering the Top 500 in 2022. While the classic spelling is six times more popular in the US, that trendy Y is nevertheless capturing parents' attention.

Likely derived from the Roman family name Silvanus, Sylas has a woodsy and nature-inspired feel, though some theories suggest it might also have emerged from the name Saul, meaning "asked for."
