Kailand is an intriguing and unique given name of American origin, derived from Scottish Gaelic roots. It is composed of two elements: "Caillean," meaning "strife" or "contention," and "-land," signifying "land" or "country." Thus, Kailand translates to "Land of Strife" or "Contention Country." This name was popularized in the United States during the mid-20th century but has since seen a decline in usage. Despite its rarity today, Kailand remains an appealing choice for parents seeking a distinctive and meaningful name for their child.
Kailand experienced a notable increase in popularity starting around 2018, with a significant spike in 2023.
