History & Origin

Thailan is a coined name rather than an inherited one, joining the Thai- element to a -lan ending and echoing both the country name Thailand and popular -lan names like Landon. Recombining familiar sounds this way is a hallmark of modern American coinages, so Thailan's meaning lies in that texture.

It never became common, given to only about sixteen boys a year around its high in 2001. A boy named Thailan then is in his mid-twenties today.
