Aidan
Gender:  Masculine
Usage:  Irish, Scottish, English (Modern)
Pronunciation:  AY-dǝn

Meaning & History
Anglicized form of Aodhán, which is from the Old Irish name Áedán, taken from Áed meaning "fire."  Aodhán was the given name of an Irish monk and saint of the 7th century and was also borne by many characters in Irish mythology.

The name Aidan became popular in America in the late 20th century, due to its sound - the suffix, aden, as found in the names Braden and Hayden.

In the Christian fantasy-fiction series of the Door Within Trilogy by Wayne Thomas Batson, this name was carried by the main character, Aidan Thomas, a young boy beckoned to enter another world - a realm filled with "knights, warriors, kings, and unusual creatures... Soon, Aidan is training to become the Twelfth Knight of an elite unit who will join Alleble in its long fight against the evil Paragory.  With the fate of two worlds hanging in the balance, will Aidan be willing to risk everything and trust the one true King?"  A great series to keep you on your toes, for pre-teens, teens, and the occasional adult.
