Meaning & origin
Jaidan is a modern invented name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1997, part of the wave of creative respellings of the popular Jayden. It reached its peak rank of 8,243 in 2008, but has since fallen in usage, declining steadily after 2009. The name is unisex, though historically more common for boys. Its meaning is not rooted in any language but rather in the phonetic appeal of the Jay sound combined with the fashionable -dan suffix seen in names like Aiden.
