Ancient root and name story

Origin: English (modern), a spelling variant of Aidan. Meaning: commonly explained as 'little fire'. Aidan is an English form of the Irish name Aodhán, which continues Old Irish Áedán, a diminutive of Áed or Aodh.

The 'little fire' sense comes from this older Irish name family. Early medieval evidence for Áedán and Aedhan documents that family rather than the exact modern spelling Aiden.

The exact spelling Aiden is anchored in records such as that of Aiden Wilson Tozer, born 1897, and appears in Irish and U.S. naming counts in the 1960s and 1970s. These are documented usage points, not claims of first-ever use.
