Adyn is a contemporary given name, most often a modern respelling aligned with Aidan/Aiden and sometimes interpreted through the Hebrew Adin.

Its rise tracks the late-1990s/2000s -ayden/-aden naming wave.

Feminine-leaning stylizations such as Aidyn or Adynn also appear. Meanings typically given: “little fire” or “delicate.”
