History & Origin

Cadon respells Caden, a coinage extended from Cade, an English surname. Caden surged for American boys around the turn of the millennium as part of the '-aden' craze, and the '-on' ending here gives the familiar sound a slightly sturdier, surname-like finish.

This spelling stayed uncommon, appearing around 2007 with only a couple dozen boys a year and fading in the 2010s. A boy named Cadon then is now in his teens, making it a clear millennial-coinage name of the peak Aiden-Caden moment.

Did you know? Caden did not exist as a common name before the 1990s; it was essentially built to rhyme with Aiden and Jaden, and spellings like Cadon show parents fine-tuning the look.
