What is the meaning of the name Aedin ?

The baby name Aedin is a boy name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced AY-din.

Aedin is Irish, Scottish Gaelic in Origin.

Aedin is a modern English spelling of Irish Áedán, earlier Old Irish Áedán, a diminutive of Áed, later written Aodh. The root belongs to Old Irish, the Goidelic branch of Celtic, and the literal sense is fire. The suffix -án marks smallness or affection, so Áedán is conventionally glossed as little fire rather than a separate compound.

Medieval Ireland had several bearers of Áed and Áedán, including churchmen; Saint Áedán of Ferns and the Irish missionary Aidan of Lindisfarne helped carry the name into Christian record. Scottish Gaelic preserved related forms such as Aodhán, while English administration and diaspora use favored Aidan, Aiden, and later respellings like Aedin. In the United States, Aedin appears only in small numbers from 2000 onward, well below the more common Aiden.
