Meaning of Kellan

Kellan drifts from the misty hills of Gaelic lore—where it once meant “slender” or “battle-bright” depending on which antiquarian you consult—into modern nurseries like a lone crane over a Kyoto pond, spare yet unmistakable; its two clean beats, KEH and luhn, strike the ear with the crisp finality of a bamboo clapper, and though the name has never quite ignited the popularity charts (peaking, with exquisite understatement, in the mid-300s a decade ago before gliding to today’s quieter altitude), it carries the quiet confidence of a samurai’s silent stride.
