📖 About Dillan
Dillan is a modern variant of Dylan, a Welsh name meaning "great tide" or "son of the sea." Rooted in Celtic mythology through Dylan ail Don, a figure from the Mabinogion who swam the sea from birth, the name carries deep oceanic symbolism. The Dillan spelling emerged in the late 20th century as a fresh take on the increasingly popular Dylan, offering a distinctive identity while preserving its Celtic heritage.
