Jaylen is a boy's name of American origin. This name is a contemporary choice, with roots in both Greek and Latin, giving your little one plenty of meanings to inspire them. The Greek version of the name, Galen, translates to "calm" and "tranquil," giving chill, peaceful vibes for your bundle of joy. Alternatively, Jaylen can also be a spin on Jillian, which has Latin roots meaning "dedicated to Jove," "wooly beard," and "youthful." Along with its connection to the Roman god of the sky, it can be a great way to help baby appreciate their thick locks and childlike spirit. This name may have grown in popularity thanks to basketball player Jalen Rose, whose name came from a blend of James, meaning "supplanter," and Leonard, meaning "lion strength." Whether baby grows up to be chill and level-headed or full of energy, Jaylen will always have a strong bite to it.
