Xylan is an innovative and unique given name of unknown origin, perhaps inspired by the natural element xylane found in plant cell walls, or derived from the Greek prefix 'xyle' meaning wood. It first appeared on the radar in the United States in the late 20th century but remains relatively uncommon, making it a distinctive choice for parents seeking an unusual yet not completely unheard-of name for their child. With only two syllables and a flowing, melodic sound, Xylan is easy to pronounce and remember, despite its rarity.
"The name Xylan has seen a significant increase in popularity over the past decade and a half, with a notable spike in recent years, from 17 births in 2021 to 24 in 2022 and 20 in 2023."
