Aillen meaning | Last name Aillen origin

A variant form of Alleyne. See Allen - From the personal name Alan, common in Norman times. Edward. Allen or Alleyne, when he founded Dulwich College, 1619, directed that the master and the warden of his establishment should bear the name of Alleyne or Allen, a regulation which has always been adhered to without much inconvenience, on account of the numerousness of the families bearing it. There are more than fifty coats-armorial assigned to the surname.

Scaliger, who reckoned among his ancestry some bore the name of Alan, deduces the word from a Sclavonic term, signifying "a hound." Chaucer applies this name to a breed of large dogs:

"Abouten his char ther wenten white alauns," for deer or lion hunting; and the Lords Dacre used for their supporter an alaun or wolf-dog; but Camden dissents from this derivation, and thinks as the name was introduced here in the Conqueror's time by Alan, Earl of Brittany, that it was from an Arinorican source, and equivalent to the Roman "Ælianus, is, sun-bright."
