Etymology & Historical Origin of the Baby Name Jaden

The name Jaden (like Jayden) is a modern American invention that was essentially made-up sometime in the 1990’s. As such, there is no specific meaning. It was probably a combination of the name “jay” (which is short for any given name starting with the letter J) along with the popular “-den” suffix (think Aiden, Braden, Hayden and Kaden).

Personality

OF THE UNISEX NAME JADEN

The number Seven personality is deeply mystical and highly in tune with their spirituality. They operate on a different wavelength than the average joe. Spending time alone comes easily to Sevens, as it gives them time to contemplate philosophical, religious and spiritual ideas in an effort to find "real truth".  Sevens are wise, but often exude mystery as if they are tapped into something the rest of us don't understand. They love the outdoors and are fed by nature. Sevens are constantly seeking to understand human nature, our place in the universe, and the mystery of life in general. This makes them quite artistic and poetic, but they are also keen observers with high intellect - so they are equally scientific-minded. Sevens are charitable and care deeply about the human condition.

Popularity

OF THE UNISEX NAME JADEN

Jaden is a unisex name, although it’s much more popular for boys. The name appeared on the male naming charts in 1994 and then on the girl’s chart in 1996. Both Jayden and Jaden – and all of their similarly spelled sisters and brothers – are squarely in the category of “trendy” names. One clear indicator of “trendy” is when a name starts to get repurposed through an excessive amount of spelling variations. Jaiden, Jaydon, Jaeden, Jadyn, Jaydin, Jaidyn, Jaydan, blah, blah, blah. It’s obnoxious at worst and confusing at best. Regardless of this rather small irritant, the name’s attraction for many American parents cannot be denied (as evidenced by its overall ϋber-popularity), even if kindergarten teachers across the country struggle to keep up with the spelling variations.
