Kiden is of African origin, particularly from Kenya and other East African countries. It is a unisex name, given to both boys and girls, but it is more commonly used for girls. The name means "to trust" in the Maasai language. Kiden is often spelled without the second 'i', appearing as Kidane, which can also be found among other African communities such as those in Ethiopia and Eritrea. It is pronounced as Ki-dehn, with a long 'e' sound in the first syllable. The name has gained some popularity globally, likely due to its unique sound and meaning.
