Etymology & Historical Origin of the Baby Name Kayden

Kayden is a made-up Americanized spelling of the Gaelic name Caden which originated as a surname, Mac Cadáin (meaning son of Cadáin). The Gaelic word “cadáin” possibly means ‘battler, fighter’ but the etymology is up for debate. It’s also thought the name is derived from Adam, the first man, which would give the meaning ‘ground, earth.’ The MacCadáin clan was responsible for maintaining and managing the church land in their Scottish localities, a position they held from late medieval times into the early modern era (which would lend the name nicely toward Adam’s meaning; i.e., taking care of the church ‘ground’). The spelling variant Kayden has barely been in existence for 10 years.

All About the Baby Name – Kayden

Personality

OF THE BOY NAME KAYDEN

Romance is the hallmark of the Six personality. They exude nurturing, loving, and caring energy. Sixes are in love with the idea of love in its idealized form - and with their magnetic personalities, they easily draw people toward them. Like the number Two personality, they seek balance and harmony in their life and the world at large. They are conscientious and service-oriented, and a champion for the underdog. These personalities naturally attract money and are usually surrounded by lovely material objects - but their human relationships are always primary. They thrive in giving back to others rather than being motivated by their own desires. This is when they achieve great things. Sixes are natural teachers, ministers and counselors.

Popularity

OF THE BOY NAME KAYDEN

Kayden is now the most popular spelling of this ultra-trendy name, just recently surpassing the usage of Kaden and Caden (now #2 and 3 respectively in terms of popularity). It is also the only spelling being used for baby girls with enough frequency to land a spot on the female Top 1000 list too (although Kayden remains WAY more popular for little boys). The crazy amount of Americanized spelling mutations (Caden, Caiden, Cayden, Kaden, Kadin, Kadyn, Kaeden, and Kaiden) is almost silly. And the arguably overused “-aden” boy names seems to be experiencing a bit of a backlash right now due to their prevalence (Aiden, Kaden, Jaden, Braden, etc). Parents should consider Caden, et al, as a highly trendy name. It’s a good choice for parents who like to follow the masses.
