Jaidan, pronounced JAY-dun, is a fresh, gender-inclusive spin on the beloved Jayden, blending a biblical heritage—Hebrew for “thankful” or “God has heard”—with a modern, Anglo-American flair. Its two-syllable melody feels like a reassuring promise, the kind of name that seems to wink at you and say, “Adventure awaits.” Over the past twenty-plus years, Jaidan has hovered in the top 1,000 U.S. baby names—most recently landing around #908 in 2024—striking a sweet balance between distinctive and familiar. Whether chosen for its spirited sound, its message of gratitude, or simply its playful twist on tradition, Jaidan invites every child to carry a story of hope and resilience from their very first hello.
