Ladean is an uncommon, distinctive female given name of American origin. It was coined by author and aviator Bertha Hilbourn 'Bessie' Coleman, who herself went by the nickname 'Bessie Ladeen'. Coleman was the first African-American woman to hold a pilot license, making her quite notable in aviation history. The name Ladean is believed to have been derived from Coleman's own nickname, with the addition of the suffix '-ean', suggesting perhaps a connection to her family or heritage. Despite its rarity today, Ladean holds historical significance as a testament to Coleman's groundbreaking achievements.
"From 1913 to 1982, the name Ladean had a total of 568 babies born, with peaks in popularity between 1925 and 1930, as well as in 1961. However, it's interesting to note that after 1972, there were no recorded births for this name until 1982."
