Origin: Greek

Meaning: Calm

A variant of Galen, Gaylen is a gender-neutral name meaning “calm.” Galen rose to prominence after a second-century Greek physician by the same name went on to become the founding father of medicine. Even more recently, actor Mads Mikkelsen played the character of Galen Erso, a brilliant scientist in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Perhaps, choosing Gaylen for your little one can help nurture a sharp mind and a gentle nature in baby.
