Aidan Meaning

Anglicized form of Aodhán. In the latter part of the 20th century it became popular in America due to its sound, since it uses the same fashionable aden suffix sound found in such names as Braden and Hayden. Aidan originates in Gaelic languages and means "like a fire". It is an anglicized form of the name Aodhan. Until today it functions as a surname and is more popular as a masculine given name than the feminine one. In the United States it became popular in the 20th century.
