Here is some info and I’ve given the link I got it off of as well:
BIAN
Name origin: Bian means change in Chinese language. On a general context is a word which fit exactly with the period of life the members are living now, choosing what to do and what to be is ties to changes, so Bian is just part of them.

Well I'm not sure but a Dima Bilan sang in the Eurovision Song Contest one year and he was Russian.

It's only a small sampling, but Bilan immigrants to the US who came through Ellis Island listed the following home countries:
Galacia
Poland
Austria
Russia
Hungary
Yugoslavia
These are only clues, of course. Not all people named Bilan have the same origin.
You would need to research YOUR specific family to see whether it came from one of these countries. The only way you can do that accurately is by researching their documents (birth/marriage/death records, land records, church records, etc. etc.)
