<p>Braiden as a feminine name represents a modern gender-crossing trend, as it originated and is still more commonly used as a masculine name. It has Irish and Gaelic roots, derived from the surname Brady or Braden, meaning 'broad' or 'wide valley.' The distinctive spelling with 'ai' rather than 'ay' gives it a more contemporary feel. While traditionally used for boys, Braiden began appearing occasionally for girls in the early 2000s as part of the trend toward surname-inspired given names for both genders. As a feminine name, it carries connotations of strength and uniqueness, appealing to parents seeking a name that defies traditional gender expectations. The name's bright sound and modern feel make it distinctive while still being recognizable and easy to pronounce.</p>

The name Braiden peaked for girls at #7371 in 2001. Braiden is occasionally used for boys in 2025.
