Jayden

Jayden, Jadin, Jadyn, Jaiden, and Jaden (among other variations) are unisex given names.

Etymology

The modern name invention of Jayden in many scenarios is probably thought of by various other names including blending the "Jay" Jason with the "den" sound from names like Braden, Hayden, Jordan and Zayden.

The biblical name Jadon (or Yadon), Hebrew for "God will judge', appears in the Bible in Nehemiah 3:7.

The name first appeared on the SSA's list of the 1,000 most popular boys' names in 1994, at number 850. It became dramatically more popular among ethnic minorities in the U.S. thereafter with the naming of Jaden Smith (a variant of Jayden; derived from his mother's name, Jada), the son of two famous actors, in 1998: use of the name about doubled between 1998 and 1999.

Australia saw Jayden as a top 100 name in the state of Victoria in 1989. In the United States, a decade later, Jayden rank had risen to 62 and peaked at number 4 in 2011 with 16,979 births.

In 2022, it was the 35th most popular name given to boys in Canada.

The name's and variants' sudden rise in U.S. usage comes from many places: J names have been historically liked by Americans, and the popularity of two-syllable names ending in n has increased, as has the frequency of distinctive names.
