或igin, Meaning, And History of Baylen
Baylen is an English name of French origin meaning ‘auburn-haired.’ The name is derived from the Old French word Baiart, which means ‘bay colored.’ According to medieval French legends, Chansons de Geste, Bayard was the name of a strong and intelligent bay horse with supernatural abilities to adjust its size according to its riders. Bayard is also considered an important figure in Belgian folklore and is featured in folk processions such as the Ducasse d’Ath and the Ommegang van Dendermonde in Belgium. These stories have been known to make the name popular since the 12th century. Additionally, Baylen is also an alternate form of the French name Bayard, which has the same meaning.

He was a military leader during the Middle Ages who is known for his remarkable horsemanship, skill in tiltyard, charming good looks, respectful treatment towards others, pure heart, and valor on the battlefield. Although he fought numerous battles and wars across the 1490s and 1500s, including the First Italian War and the Battle of Garigliano, he is most renowned for his duel with Alonso de Sotomayor. Numerous places, statues, monuments, memorials, and literary mentions both in fact and fiction can be found in his honor, thus giving the name also the meaning ‘mighty warrior.’
