The name Daylon is a variant of the traditional Welsh name Dylan, derived from the Welsh prefix ‘dy, ’ meaning ‘to’ or ‘toward, ’ and ‘llanw, ’ referring to ‘tide’ or ‘flow. ’ This name means ‘son of the sea’ or ‘born from the ocean. ’ Originally, it was associated with Celtic legends and mythology, particularly in the context of Dylan, a sea god. Over time, the name has evolved through various spellings and interpretations, including Gaelic roots hinting at loyalty and courage.
