Cadan

Meaning of Cadan

When parents first stumble upon Cadan, it feels like uncovering a hidden gem tucked away in the emerald valleys of Gaelic legend. Born from the Irish Cadán—“little battle”—this spirited name (KAH-dahn in its homeland) has been reborn across the pond as Cadan (KAY-dən), a modern melody that dances on the tongue. It carries the playful spark of a pint-sized hero, whispering tales of courage and creativity every time it’s spoken. Though only a handful of families each year in America welcome a Cadan into their fold, that rarity becomes part of its charm: a secret handshake among trendsetters craving a name that’s both rooted in ancient lore and fizzing with contemporary energy. Effortlessly cool yet warmly familiar, Cadan stands poised to write its next chapter—fast, fearless, and full of heart.
