Caiden is a boy’s name with Gaelic origins. Just like Cayden, Kaden, and a half dozen others, this is a spelling variation of the original Caden. Caiden derives from the Gaelic surname Mac Cadáin and means “son of Cadáin.” This contemporary name appeared on the baby-name charts for the first time at the turn of the century. It was probably the result of taking a trendy name and toying around with letters to come up with a customized version, just like your very own DIY project!
