Tilan is of Scandinavian origin, specifically from Norway and Sweden, where it's considered a unisex name. It's derived from the old Norse word 'tilja,' which means 'to grant' or 'to give.' In some cases, Tilan can also be viewed as a variant spelling of the Welsh name Tylwyth, meaning 'fairy.' The name Tilan is not particularly common and may carry a unique charm due to its scarcity. It's a one-syllable name with a soft, melodic sound, making it appealing for parents looking for an unusual yet elegant choice for their child.
"Tilan is quite rare as it only saw six births annually in 2012."
