Meaning: A variant of the traditional Welsh name Dylan

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. Daylon is often associated with meanings related to 'son of the sea'or 'land by the road', rather than ambition and determination.
