Aydan Origin and Meaning

The name Aydan is a girl's name.

Aydan is a feminine variation of the more common masculine name Aidan, which has Irish origins meaning 'little fire' or 'born of fire.' The original name comes from the Gaelic 'Aodhán,' a diminutive of 'Aodh,' the name of an ancient Celtic sun god. While Aidan/Aydan has traditionally been used for boys, the spelling variant Aydan has occasionally crossed gender lines to be used for girls, reflecting the modern trend of gender-flexible naming. This spelling variation with a 'y' instead of 'i' gives it a more contemporary feel while maintaining its Celtic roots. Despite gaining some usage for girls, Aydan remains relatively uncommon as a feminine name, making it a distinctive choice.
