Etymology & Historical Origin of the Baby Name Rylen

Rylen is a spelling variation of Rylan. Rylan is a made-up name; a modern American invention with no real etymology or root meaning. Most likely Rylan was coined in reaction to the rising popularity of other “Ry-“ sounding masculine names: Ryan, Ryder, Riley and Ryker. This compulsion to invent new given names for babies is what distinguishes the United States from other English speaking nations (although folks in Canada and Australia often follow suit). Such names are appealing to non-traditional parents; and they are quite fashionable in some circles. Because of Rylan’s gender-neutral sound, it has also found success as a girl’s name in America. Rylen with an “e” is probably intended to make the unisex name Rylan look more masculine.

Popularity

OF THE BOY NAME RYLEN

Rylen is super new to the charts; the name only just appeared in 2011. This is clearly in reaction to the rising popularity of Rylan (with an “a”) for boys (a name that entered the charts in 1997). Rylen is still very rare but Rylan has shot up the charts. Parents of baby boys have taken a liking to this name, and so some have decided to spell it Rylen instead. There’s not a whole lot that can be said about this name – it’s new, it’s invented and it has no cultural significance (at least not yet). It’s merely the sound of it that attracts certain parents. It’s hip and modern rather than historical or substantive.
