Boy name · 7 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Taylan: 7 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 4 births in 2012.
Taylan originates from Turkey, where it is a unisex name often interpreted as meaning ‘tall and slender’ or ‘long‑lasting.’ Turkish footballer Taylan Özgür and Australian rugby league player Taylan May have helped bring the name to wider attention. While no notable place connections arise directly from this name, it has been adopted in Scotland as a modern, stylish choice. Its similarity to the more familiar Taylor, combined with the distinctive -an ending, gives it a fresh feel, and it works equally well for boys and girls, reflecting its unisex roots. Occasional variant spellings like Taylen or Talan add further flexibility for parents drawn to its contemporary sound.
