History & Origin
The meaning given ties it to one who rides into battle on horseback, the same idea behind Ryder and Rider. It reads as a contemporary respelling, leaning on the -en ending that gives it a softer close than the harder Ryder. No older variant forms are recorded for this spelling.
The -en finish lets it sit comfortably next to current favorites like Aiden and Hayden while keeping its own riding-themed meaning.
