Aedon is an ancient and unique name of Latin origin, derived from the word 'aedes', which means 'temple'. It was a name used during the Roman era for both men and women, but its usage has since become quite rare. In Greek mythology, Aedon was also the name of a queen who was transformed into a nightingale after killing her stepson, a tale that adds an intriguing layer to this distinctive moniker. The name Aedon is typically pronounced as /EYE-don/, with the emphasis on the first syllable.
