Aidon is Irish in Origin.
Aidon is a modern spelling of the Irish-Gaelic name Aidan, from Old Irish Áedán, the diminutive of Áed ("fire"). It thus carries the meaning "little fire" or "fiery one." The name was borne by several early saints, notably St. Aidan of Iona and St. Aidan of Lindisfarne, which helped it circulate through medieval Ireland and Scotland. It surged again in English-speaking countries from the 1990s onward alongside the Aiden/Ayden family of spellings.
Variants and cognates include Aidan, Aiden, Aydan, Ayden, Aden, Aedan, the Irish Aodhán/Aodhan, and Scots Edan. Aidon is generally pronounced AY-dən, matching Aiden; occasional EYE-don pronunciations reflect a less common reading. While some parents associate the spelling with Aidoneus, an epithet of the Greek god Hades meaning "the unseen one," that link is secondary; the primary and well-attested origin is the Gaelic "little fire."
