Meaning & origin
Kaide is a modern American name that first entered U.S. birth records in 2000. It reached its peak popularity in 2022, but has since been on a declining trajectory. With a rank of 6,803 in 2025 and a 1-in-142,340 incidence rate, Kaide remains an uncommon choice. Its spelling likely draws from the popular 'K-' trend seen in names like Kaden and Kaleb, combined with the -aide ending. The name has not been recorded in any top state rankings, indicating its scattered usage across the country.
Kaide is a modern coinage, likely an invented spelling of the name Cade, which itself derives from an Old English word meaning 'round, lumpy' or from the Irish surname Ó Cáid meaning 'descendant of Cád.' Alternatively, Kaide may be formed by the fashionable 'K-' prefix added to the name Aid(e). The name first appeared in U.S. records in 2000 and has seen sporadic use since.
