Meaning & origin
Taden is a modern American name first recorded in 1998. It reached its peak popularity in 2010, but has been falling in use since 2009. In 2025, it ranked 7,679 with a frequency of about 1 in 170,808 boys. The name has not appeared among the top baby names in any U.S. state, suggesting it remains a rare and distinctive choice. Its etymology is uncertain, but it likely follows the fashionable -aden trend seen in names like Jayden and Brayden.
Taden first appeared in U.S. records in 1998. It may be a modern coined name influenced by the popular -aden/-ayden suffix found in names like Jayden, Brayden, and Kayden. Alternatively, it might draw from the Cornish saint Taden (a sixth-century Breton saint), though direct connection is unproven. The name has seen modest use since the 2000s, with a peak in 2010.
