About Shayden
A member of the Aidan, Brayden, Zayden, Jayden family, Shayden combines the Hebrew and Irish "Shay" with the popular -den suffix. Less familiar than some of its rhyming counterparts, Shayden may also be perceived as a variation of the Arabic Shaidan (also spelled Shaydan and Shaydaan), meaning "high ranking".
Shayden is also given to girls.
Pronounced SHAY-dun.
