Garlan is a boy’s name of Old English and Old French origins. As a variant of Garland, the moniker means “land of the spear.” Thanks to Garlan Tyrell, a character in A Song of Fire and Ice novels, the moniker enjoyed its moment in the sun. In the books, he is written as the second son of Mace and Alerie Tyrell and an exceptionally skilled swordsman who has no interest in gaining glory for himself. In picking this name, your little one may feel encouraged to take after Garlan the Gallant himself.
