The story behind the name
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. Commonly spelled as Aidan, this version is a nice tribute to the ancient Gaelic originals Aodhán and Áedán, pronounced "Ay-dawn." The traditional feminine diminutive is Aideen, but Aedan works as a girl's name. It might just be the perfect way to ignite a fresh and modern take on this fiery name, too!
