I dislike made up "meanings" as much as the next namenerd, but putting together common elements do create a meaning for a name. Yes, Bread with the element -son would technically mean "son of bread." Jaylen is the combination of the names Jay + Lynn and thus would take on the meaning of whatever name Jay was derived from (Jason or James for instance) and the element -lynn (meaning lake). So for instance, "to heal" and "lake." I don't think that now means you can come up with some flowery meaning from those elements such as "his name means healing lake." That just doesn't make sense.
