History and Origin
Dylan is a Welsh male given name. It is derived from the word llanw, meaning "tide" or "flow" and the intensifying prefix dy-. Dylan ail Don was a character in Welsh mythology, but the popularity of Dylan as a given name in modern times arises from its use by poet Dylan Thomas. Its use as a surname stems from the adoption of the name by Bob Dylan. In Wales it was the most popular Welsh name given to babies in 2010.
Welsh: of uncertain origin, probably connected with a Celtic element meaning ‘sea’. In the Mabinogi it is the name of the miraculously born son of Arianrhod, who became a minor divinity of the sea. In the second half of the 20th century the name has become fairly popular outside Wales as a result of the fame of the Welsh poet Dylan Thomas (1914–53) and the American singer Bob Dylan (b. 1941), who changed his surname from Zimmerman as a tribute to the poet.
