Jaylann is of French origin, derived from the Occitan male name "Guilhelm," which means "resolute protection." The name gained popularity in France during the late 20th century and has since been adopted internationally. Jaylann is typically used for boys but can also be considered as a unisex name due to its unique sound and spelling. It is pronounced /ʒaj.lan/ in French, with the emphasis on the second syllable. The name has not traditionally been associated with any specific saint or historical figure, allowing it to stand independently as a modern choice for parents seeking an uncommon yet meaningful name for their child.
