Meaning & origin
Nohlan is a modern invented name that first appeared on the American baby-naming landscape in 2007. It reached its peak popularity in 2014, and has been declining since. The name follows a trend of respelling established names, in this case building on Nolan, which itself derives from the Irish surname Ó Nualáin. With a rank of 12,008 in 2025, it remains a rare choice given to roughly 1 in every 341,615 baby boys. Nohlan has not been linked to any single U.S. state, indicating it is scattered rather than regionally concentrated.
Nohlan is a modern American coinage, likely formed by combining the popular sound of Nolan (itself derived from Irish Ó Nualáin) with a fashionable spelling variation. The name first appeared in U.S. Social Security data in 2007 and saw its peak usage in 2014. It is almost exclusively given to boys.
