History & Origin
Aidian is a rare respelling of Aiden, itself from the Irish Aodhan, a little-fire name tied to an old fire god and to Saint Aidan. As Aiden soared in the early twenty-first century, parents spun off countless spellings, and Aidian is one of them. It keeps the warm meaning of little fire carried down from the Irish root.
Aidian was always rare, given to only about twenty boys a year even at its high around 2005, far below the popular Aiden. A boy named Aidian then would still be young today.
