Popularity

Ryland did not appear on the U.S. male naming charts until 2003 making it a very new and modern choice.

It’s not as popular as Rylan for boys, but it does appear to be on the upswing. Does Ryland have staying power? It’s too soon to tell. While only lightly used, Ryland still feels very trendy and somewhat fashionable. Given the meaning of this name, we can’t help but think of the novel and movie “A River Runs Through It”.
