Aeddan
Aeddan Origin and Meaning
Aeddan is a masculine name of Welsh origin, a variant of the name Aidan. Derived from the Old Welsh element 'aed' meaning 'fire,' the name carries connotations of passion, warmth and spirit. In Welsh history and mythology, fire was often associated with inspiration and creativity, giving Aeddan rich cultural significance. While the Irish form Aidan has become quite popular internationally, the Welsh spelling Aeddan remains relatively uncommon, offering a distinctive alternative with authentic Celtic roots. The double 'd' in the middle creates a subtle difference in pronunciation, emphasizing the name's Welsh heritage. For parents seeking a name with Celtic origins that balances traditional meaning with a less common spelling, Aeddan provides both uniqueness and historical depth.
