Jaedan is of American origin, a modern coinage that has gained popularity in recent years. It is believed to be derived from the Hebrew name Jaden, which means "thankful," but with a slight variation in spelling.

Pronounced /ˈdʒiːdən/, it consists of three syllables with stressed first syllable.

However, the popularity of the name has been steadily declining since then, with only 5 births recorded in 2018 and 10 births in 2019. Overall, there have been a total of 488 babies named Jaedan between 1997 and 2019.
