Ridan is of Irish origin, derived from the Irish name "Rioghan" which means "little king." This name gained popularity during the Middle Ages and was often used as a nickname for someone who behaved in a kingly manner. The name Ridan is now considered unisex but has been more commonly used for males historically. It offers a unique, yet approachable alternative to more traditional names like Reginald or Ronald.
