Layland is a unique, unisex given name of Old English origin, derived from the elements 'leah', meaning 'woodland' or 'clearing', and '-land', signifying 'land'. It is often mistaken for two names due to its components, but Layland stands alone as an individual moniker. In the past century, it has made occasional appearances in the United States, although its usage remains quite rare. Layland does not have any widely recognized associated saints or days of celebration.
"Layland was chosen for only five newborns in 2012, but it gained popularity over time with six babies named Layland in 2015 and eight in 2019, bringing the total to nineteen."
