Caiden
Meaning of Caiden
Caiden, pronounced KAY-din, sprang from the same Gaelic well as Caden, carrying the spirited meaning “little battle” or “fighter,” yet he wears modern sneakers rather than ancient armor. This sleek spelling joined the U.S. charts in the 1990s, slingshotting from just six newborns in 1990 to a peak rank of 264 in 2014 before settling comfortably in today’s mid-400s—a steady favorite without feeling over-used. Caiden’s bright, two-syllable zip pairs the friendliness of Aiden with the adventurous kick of Cade, giving him that “playground-cool, boardroom-ready” versatility parents prize. Pop-culture nods to swashbuckling video-game heroes and all-star athletes only burnish his energetic vibe, while the soft-yet-strong cadence lets grandparents pronounce him with ease. For families seeking a name that sounds like a high-five and means “ready for anything,” Caiden delivers the goods—no dragon-slaying experience required.
