Aiddan Name Meaning

The name Aiddan is a variant of Aidan, which is derived from the Irish name Áedán or Aodhán. Its origin stems from the old Gaelic word "Aodh", meaning "fire", so Aiddan can be interpreted to mean "little fiery one".

It is derived from the name of an old Celtic god, Aodh, who was a god of sun and fire. Aidan was a popular name in Ireland in the 6th and 7th century, largely due to the influences of St. Aidan of Iona, who was an Irish monk and missionary credited with the restoration of Christianity to Northumbria.
