It is less common today than at its historical peak.
Jayden is a modern name derived from the Hebrew name Jadon, meaning 'thankful' or 'God has heard.' It gained prominence in the early 2000s, particularly in English-speaking countries, as part of the trend of '-ayden' suffix names (e.g., Aiden, Brayden). While Jadon appears in the Bible (Nehemiah 3:7), the spelling 'Jayden' is a recent innovation. Its popularity soared due to its smooth pronunciation and adaptable unisex usage, making it a staple in modern baby naming.
