Sheriden is a gender-neutral name, though used here as masculine, that represents a variant spelling of Sheridan. Originally an Irish surname derived from the Gaelic 'Ó Sirideáin,' meaning 'descendant of Sirideán,' it has transitioned to use as a given name. This particular spelling with an 'e' instead of 'a' gives the name a slightly modified look while maintaining its sophisticated sound. The name gained recognition through association with playwright Richard Brinsley Sheridan and the American Civil War general Philip Sheridan. Sheriden has a refined, literary quality and projects intelligence and creativity. While never extremely common, it appeals to parents seeking a name with Irish heritage that sounds distinguished yet isn't overly popular.
