Aidan, Aiden and Ayden are anglicised versions of the Irish male given name ''Aodhán''. The Irish language female equivalent is ''Aodhnait''.

Etymology and spelling

The name is derived from the name ''Aodhán'', which is a

pet form A hypocorism ( or ; from Ancient Greek ; sometimes also ''hypocoristic''), or pet name, is a name used to show affection for a person. It may be a diminutive form of a person's name, such as '' Izzy'' for Isabel or '' Bob'' for Robert, or it ...

of '' Aodh''. The personal name ''Aodh'' means "fiery" and/or "bringer of fire" and was the name of a Celtic sun god (see Aed). Formerly common only in Ireland, Scotland and Wales, the name and its variants have become popular in England, the United States, Canada, and Australia. In the 2010s, ''Aiden'' rose to the 13th most popular name in the United States as the given name of 129,433 boys, while ''Aidan'' ranked 156th as the given name of 25,399 boys. In the 2000s, ''Aiden'' was 54th most popular name in the United States as the given name of 83,527 boys while ''Aidan'' ranked 55th having been bestowed on 76,493 boys. Other variants are less popular, such as ''Hayden'' 87th, ''Ayden'' 156th, ''Aden'' 333rd, ''Aydan'' 808th, and ''Aydin'' 960th, according to the United States Social Security Database. "Aidan/Aiden" was the most popular boys' name in Canada in 2007. ''Aiden'' was the 38th most popular name given to boys in Canada in 2022. Its popularity is also reflected in the occurrence of similar-sounding names such as Braden, Caden, Hayden, and Jayden. ''Aidan'' (or any reasonable variant) as a girl's name does not appear in the top one thousand names for girls from the same database, although it has occasionally been used for girls.
