Dylan is a given name and surname of Welsh origin. It means "son of the sea", "born from the ocean", or "great tide". It is derived from the Welsh words "dy," meaning "great," and "llanw," meaning "tide" or "sea".[1]

In Welsh mythology, Dylan ail Don is a sea god or hero associated with the waves and tides in the Welsh mythic Mabinogion tales. Dylan may have served as a model for the Arthurian figure Dyonas, the father of the beautiful Vivian.[2] In Wales, it was the most popular Welsh name given to boys in 2010.[3]
