History & Origin

Rylend is a modern respelling of Ryland, an English surname and place-name built from Old English ryge, rye, and land, so literally the land where rye was grown. Ryland gained ground in the United States as a fresh surname-name alongside Ryan and Riley, and Rylend is one of its custom spellings.

Rylend was never common, given to only about twenty boys a year at its faint peak in the early twenty-tens, well behind Ryland. A boy named Rylend then is barely a teenager today.

Did you know? Rylend rides the popularity of Ryan and Riley: its parent Ryland climbed as parents sought a longer, surname-flavored twist on those familiar Ry- sounds.
