Origin: Latin

Meaning: To demonstrate; Show; Clarify; Notify

Despite its unclear roots, there is no doubting the appeal of the name Deklan. One reasonable guess is that the name derives from the Latin dēclārāre, meaning “to demonstrate,” “show,” “clarify,” and “notify.” It’s typically given to boys and appears more commonly in Ireland as Declan due to the 5th-century saint who set up the Ardmore Monastery in Waterford. This unique spin on the traditional spelling is a sure way to have your little one stand out.
