Aiden

An Irish-origin name commonly linked in popular explanation to ideas of fire or warmth, though exact glossing depends on the source.

Aiden is a male name with Irish roots that has become very common in modern English-language naming. It’s short, easy to say, and typically reads clearly across different regions. Meaning and etymology are often discussed in connection with older Irish forms such as Aodhán (sometimes rendered Aodán), and popular explanations frequently associate the root with ideas of fire or warmth. Because sources differ in how they present the historical linguistic details, it’s best to treat those glosses as common associations rather than a single, universally fixed translation. Pronunciation is usually AY-dən in two syllables. A practical tip is to note the close spelling variant Aidan, which is commonly used with the same pronunciation.

Etymology: Often treated as an Anglicized form related to Irish Aodhán/Aodán traditions; etymology is discussed differently across references.
