Uisdean

US Popularity Rank: None

Origin: Norse

Meaning: Forever stone

Uisdean is a masculine name of Scottish Gaelic origin. Derived from two Old Norse elements, ei meaning “forever” and steinn meaning “stone”, it reads as “forever stone.” Laden with cultural significance, it’s a name that’s designed to make your little one proud of their Celtic heritage. Acting in line with those very sentiments are namesakes Uisdean of Sleat, a 14th-century Scottish clan chief, and Usidean MacDonald, a Scottish nationalist activist. Since the anglicized form of Uisdean is Hugh, you can even choose to honor a special someone in your life with a more boulder option!
