Caidence

Meaning of Caidence

Caidence, pronounced KAY-dens (/keɪdns/), is a unisex given name of English provenance, ultimately traceable to the Latin cadentia, meaning “rhythm” or “falling”; its lexical roots evoke an association with measured progression and musical harmony, reflecting a contemporary Anglo-American preference for names that convey structural balance. First recorded in U.S. naming data in 2002, Caidence experienced a gradual ascent—peaking at sixty-one occurrences (rank 893) in 2015—before entering a phase of modest decline to nine registered births (rank 941) by 2024. This trajectory illustrates an early twenty-first-century pattern of ephemeral prominence, situated within broader trends of neologistic adaptation, wherein traditional morphemes are reconfigured into innovative orthographic forms. Employed equally across gender lines, Caidence epitomizes an academic-sounding, phonetically driven choice that retains semantic resonance without resorting to overtly ornate or figurative embellishment.
