History & Origin

Aydden is one of the many inventive spellings that followed the huge rise of Aiden, whose Irish source Aodhan means little fire. This double-d form appears in United States records only in the two-thousands.

It was never common in this spelling, given to only about twenty boys a year at its high in the early two-thousand-tens, even as Aiden itself topped the charts. It gives a very common sound a rare look.

Did you know? Aodh, the root of Aiden, was the name of a Celtic sun and fire god, giving the whole family a bright, warm meaning.
