Kalian is a modern American spelling without a recorded origin. Its sound-neighbours include the Irish Killian and the French-popular Kylian, and its shape also recalls Kellan; those are echoes rather than ancestry. Routes are uncertain, which we note (said 'KAY-lee-un').
It appears only rarely for boys in the U.S. Rare, newly emerging, and light.
