Naiden is of Slavic origin, specifically Bulgarian, and it means "new" or "young". It is pronounced as NAH-eh-den. The name gained popularity during the Middle Ages in Eastern Europe and has since been carried through generations. Naiden is often associated with the Bulgarian Orthodox Church, as it was commonly given to children baptized on the feast day of Saint Naiden. Today, it remains a unique and distinct choice for parents seeking an uncommon yet meaningful name for their child.
"Naiden saw a peak in popularity with 9 births in 2014 and 8 in 2020, but has consistently maintained around 6 births per year since 2009."
