History & Origin
Caidon is a respelling of Caden/Kaden, part of the -aden family that dominated nurseries around the turn of the millennium alongside Aiden, Braden and Jayden. The base is variously tied to a Welsh word for battle or treated as pure sound. This spelling appears in United States records from the early 2000s, reached a modest high in the mid-to-late two-thousands, and faded afterward. It was never common, given to only a couple dozen boys a year.
A boy named Caidon from the late 2000s would be a teenager now, of the -aden generation. It is not reviving; the pattern has cooled, and parents who want the sound usually pick the plainer Caden or Kaden.
