Kylon is a distinctive and unique given name of uncertain origin, believed to have been invented for use as a character name in fantasy literature. It is derived from the combining form "kyl-" found in words like kylin (a mythical creature) and kiln (an oven). The addition of "-on" at the end suggests a masculine suffix, making it a likely choice for a boy's name. The name Kylon has gained some popularity as a distinctive alternative to more common names, particularly among parents seeking unique and unusual choices for their children.
"Kylon saw its popularity peak between 1995 and 2003, with a significant rise from 16 births in 1993 to 52 births in 2003. The name maintained steady popularity thereafter, averaging around 40-50 births annually until 2023."
