History & Origin

Kydan belongs to the enormous modern -aden rhyme family. Aiden itself descends from Irish Aodhan ('little fiery one'), but the dozens of rhyming coinages that followed — Kaden, Jaden, Brayden, Kydan — are inventions built on the sound, not descendants of the root. Routes uncertain, which we note (said 'KYE-dun').

It appears only very rarely for boys in the U.S. Rare, invented, and modern.
