About Aaiden
Aaiden is a modern masculine name that represents a variant spelling of Aiden. Originally derived from the Irish name Aodhán (pronounced ay-dawn), a diminutive of Aodh meaning 'fire' or 'fiery.' This contemporary spelling with the double 'A' emerged in the early 2000s as parents sought more unique variations of the increasingly popular Aiden. The name gained significant traction in the United States during the 2010s as part of the broader trend of names with the '-ayden' sound (Jayden, Brayden, Cayden). Aaiden offers a slightly distinctive twist while maintaining the appealing sound and meaning of its original form. The double 'A' beginning also places it at the start of alphabetical listings, a subtle advantage some parents appreciate.
Pronounced AY-dun.
As of October 2026, Aaiden ranked #6804 for boys in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #1729 for boys in 2015.
