The story behind the name
The name Hayden is both a boy's name and a girl's name of English origin meaning "fire".
Hayden – a formerly obscure name that's risen to huge popularity – has dipped in this year's ratings. Though Hayden is among the most distinctive of the bunch, it gets lost in the crowd of Jaidens, Bradens, Aidans, and endless variations. Associated with Hayden Christensen, of Star Wars fame.
Musical parents might prefer to give it a different twist as Haydn (pronounced HIGH-den), as in the composer.
