Insights
Today, Aiden is one of the most common baby names (popularity 97/100).
It is less common today than at its historical peak.
Aiden is derived from the Irish name Aodhán, a diminutive of Aodh, which means 'fire' in Gaelic. Aodh was the name of the Celtic sun god, symbolizing light and warmth. The name gained widespread popularity in the 21st century, particularly in English-speaking countries, due to its melodic sound and contemporary appeal. While traditionally Irish, its simplicity and adaptability have made it internationally recognized.
