Caylen is an uncommon, yet distinctive given name of English origin. It is believed to have derived from the name Caitlyn, which has Celtic roots and means "pure" or "virginal." The name Caylen is often used for both boys and girls due to its unisex nature. It gained some popularity in the late 20th century but remains relatively rare compared to more traditional names.
"Caylen has seen a steady increase in popularity since the late 80s, peaking in 2007 with 16 births, and again in 2013 with 21 births. However, it has been on a downward trend since then, with only 5 births recorded in 2022."
