Dillan
Meaning of Dillan
Dillan glides in on a Welsh wave—cousin to Dylan, born from the words for “great tide”—yet he sways with a Latin beat that makes abuelos smile and amigos say, “¡Qué nombre tan chévere!” Parents who choose Dillan see a sea-strong hero, calm on the surface, mighty underneath, just like the ocean he’s named for. He’s never crowded; in recent years he’s hovered around the upper hundreds on U.S. charts, a hidden beach rather than a tourist hotspot, perfect for families who love familiar sounds with a twist. Say it aloud—DIL-uhn—and it rolls off the tongue as quickly as a salsa step, playful and bright. Little Dillan carries the promise of adventure, kindness, and a tide that always returns, reminding everyone that even a small boy can make big waves.
