Originating from the Irish Gaelic 'Áedán', meaning 'little fire', the name Aeden is of Celtic origin. It was borne by several early saints, including Saint Aidan of Lindisfarne, a monk and bishop in the 7th century. The name gained prominence during the Middle Ages and has since been used worldwide.
The name Aeden has seen a significant rise in popularity over the years, with a peak of 102 births recorded in 2008. However, there's been a steady decline since then, reaching a low of 16 births in both 2021 and 2023.
