Iden

Iden is a concise, modern masculine name with several possible origins. It may be a variation of Aiden (Irish for 'little fire') or could derive from place names in England. Some connect it to the Old English word 'denu' meaning 'valley.' Iden offers a contemporary sound while maintaining simplicity with its four letters and two syllables. The name has gained modest popularity in the 21st century, particularly appealing to parents seeking short, strong-sounding boy names that aren't overly common. Iden strikes a balance between familiarity and uniqueness—recognizable in structure but not frequently encountered. The name conveys a sense of strength and individuality while being easy to spell and pronounce. Its brevity allows it to pair well with various middle and last names.

Iden is also given to girls.
