Jaidan Origin and Meaning

The name Jaidan is a boy's name.

Jaidan is a modern masculine name that emerged as a variant of Jaden, which itself gained popularity in the late 20th century. With roots possibly connecting to the biblical name 'Jadon' (meaning 'thankful' or 'he will judge') or the Hebrew 'jade' (meaning 'God has heard'), Jaidan carries spiritual undertones while maintaining a contemporary feel. This spelling variation, with the additional 'i,' became increasingly common in the early 2000s as parents sought to personalize popular names. Jaidan follows the '-an' ending trend that includes names like Aidan, Ethan, and Rowan. The name projects a youthful, energetic image and has cross-cultural appeal, making it a versatile choice for families from various backgrounds.
