Kaidan is a gender-neutral name that is closely connected to Kaiden and Caden and is a fun twist on Aidan, Brayden, or Jayden. Its origins are global, with Irish, American, and Japanese roots, and it is not hard to see why this rhythmic name appeals to a worldwide audience. The Kaidans of the world are destined to have courage, as its meaning is rooted in the last name Mac Cadáin, meaning “son of Cadán.” This powerful title stems from the Irish word for "battle.” In Japan, Kaidan signifies “ocean level,” perfect for aspiring sea swimmers and marine biologists.
