Daylen is a modern American coinage, usually understood as a blend of the word day with the ending -len of Jaylen and Kaylen, or as a respelling of Dalen and Daylon; it has no traditional meaning and is chosen for its bright, "daylight" sound. It entered the top 1000 at number 981 in 2010, its peak, and has stayed just outside since, ranking number 1530 in 2025.
