Whether you have ancestral roots in Ireland or something about Gaelic names simply sparks your interest, you will want to check out this gem! Aedan is a gender-neutral given name of Irish origin. It means "little fire," which is a cute coincidence seeing as your little one will light a flame of unconditional, lifelong love in your heart.
