Meaning & origin
Aedon is a modern name first recorded in the United States in 2002. Its recent emergence makes its origin difficult to pinpoint, though it likely draws inspiration from the Irish name Aidan or other names ending in the trendy -don suffix. Usage peaked in 2006, the year it was most frequently given, but has since remained at a stable, low level. With no top states to speak of, Aedon is a rare choice that appeals to parents seeking a distinctive, contemporary sound. Its history is short, and its meaning depends on whether one sees it as a creative spelling of Aidan or an independent invention.
