History & Origin

Laiken is a recent American spelling of Laken, the lake-derived modern name that surfaced in the 1980s (a soap-opera Laken on Santa Barbara helped) and diversified through the -aiden spelling era. The water meaning is the constant; the lettering is fashion.

It is used for both sexes and remains very rare for boys. A name that sounds like a dock at dawn.

Did you know? Laken — Laiken's simpler parent — likely rose from the plain word lake, but a Belgian royal suburb (Laeken, home of the king's palace) offers it an accidental aristocratic alibi.
