Meaning of Eilan
Eilan feels like an adventurous breeze—at once earthy and vital.

Pronounced AY-lan (/ˈeɪ.læn/), Eilan has quietly surged in popularity—jumping from just 5 newborns in 2012 to 53 in 2024, landing at #871 on the charts—proof that its mix of traditional Alan charm and contemporary flair hits the sweet spot for parents seeking something classic yet unexpected. Imaginative parents might picture him as a pocket-sized superhero—ready to rock every playground and ride each breeze—making Eilan a choice that’s as playful as it is powerful.
