Zaylen
Zaylen Origin and Meaning
Newly coined options, the letter Z, and strong A sounds all remain on trend for boys in the US and Zaylen ticks all the boxes. Like a mash up of Zaiden, Zayn and Waylon, Zaylen has been rising up the popularity stats since the 2000s, and made a big leap in 2023 when it rose 65 places up the ranks, to sit just outside the Top 1000.
As it is a modern invention, the meaning of Zaylen is hard to to pin down, but if you break the name down, you've got some options. Zay could come from Xavier/Zavier meaning "new house", from Zayn or Zayne meaning "beauty" and "God is gracious" respectively, or from Zayd, meaning "to increase". Meanwhile, len might link to the Irish diminutive meaning "little" or from the English suffixes lan/lon/len meaning "land". You can play about with these to make meanings such as "new house on the land" or "little beauty", though none can be given as the definitive meaning.
Alternative spellings for Zaylen include Zaylin, Zaylon, and Zaylan, perhaps making the name feel more popular than it actually is.
