Aedin is a masculine name with Gaelic origins, serving as a variant spelling of the Irish name Aodán (or Aidan). Derived from the Old Irish element 'aed' meaning 'fire,' it carries connotations of passion, brightness, and warmth. The name has ancient roots in Irish mythology and history, with several early Irish saints bearing variations of this name, most notably St. Aidan of Lindisfarne who spread Christianity in northern England during the 7th century. While the spelling Aedin is less common than Aidan or Aiden, it offers a more distinctive appearance while maintaining the authentic pronunciation. This variant has gained some modest attention in recent decades among parents seeking names with Celtic heritage that balance traditional roots with a contemporary feel.

For families with Polish heritage or those seeking a unique variant of a classical name, Tytus offers both cultural significance and distinctive character.
