History & Origin

Caedence is a variant spelling of the word-name Cadence, which comes from the Latin cadentia, 'a falling,' the root of the musical term for rhythm and the settled ending of a phrase. Word-names drawn from music grew fashionable in the United States after the year two thousand.

The spelling never caught on the way plain Cadence did: it was given to only about twenty girls a year even at its brief peak in the mid-two-thousands, and stayed rare on either side. A girl named Caedence then is barely out of her teens today, so it still reads as a fresh, contemporary choice.

Did you know? Cadence entered the American name pool as a musical word-name in the early two-thousands, and Caedence is one of several ornamental respellings that rode alongside it.
