Ardun is in Origin.

Ardun is a rare modern given name most plausibly connected to the English surname/place-name Arden, whose roots lie in Brittonic ardu- “high” and the forested toponym Arduenna; hence senses like “from the high forest” or “lofty.” It can also be interpreted through Irish Gaelic elements ard “high” + dún “fort,” yielding Ardún, literally “high fort,” with the accent dropped in Anglicized spelling. These etymologies give Ardun a compact, elevated feel tied to landscape and strongholds.

Documented usage as a given name is sparse before the late 20th century; appearances in baby name data tend to be sporadic and likely influenced by creative respellings. Related or overlapping forms include Arden (unisex), Ardan (Irish), Ardon (Hebrew biblical name, meaning uncertain, sometimes linked to “bronze”), Ardyn/Ardynn, and Ardin. Nicknames Ardi or Ari occur. Overall meaning spectrum: “high; of the high wood; high fort,” with a secondary link via Ardon.
