Xaiden, pronounced /ˈʃeɪdən/, is of American origin and is considered a modern creation. It gained popularity in the late 20th century, likely influenced by names like Xander and Kayden. The name consists of two parts: 'X', which is a trendy prefix often used to create unique names, and 'aiden', which is derived from the Irish name Aidan meaning 'little fire'. Thus, Xaiden could be interpreted as 'little fiery one'. It's a distinctive choice for parents seeking an uncommon yet meaningful name.
The name Xaiden experienced a significant increase in popularity over the years, with a notable spike from 2007 onwards. The highest number of births recorded was in 2023, with 101 occurrences. However, there was also a considerable dip in recent years, particularly in 2020 and 2021, which could indicate a potential decline in popularity for the name.
