Badden is English in Origin.

Badden is a rare masculine given name and surname in the English-speaking world. Most evidence points to it as a variant spelling of Baden, the German toponymic name meaning “baths,” from Old High German bad “bath,” used for people from the spa town/region of Baden. In modern usage, the double-d form likely arose by analogy with popular -dden/-den names (Madden, Cadden), while preserving Baden’s sense of “from the baths/from Baden.”

As a first name, Badden appears sporadically in 20th–21st‑century records in Britain, Ireland, Australia, and North America, and remains uncommon; the form is also indirectly familiar through the Baden‑Powell surname of the Scouting founder. Documented surname forms include Badden and Baddon. Related or variant spellings comprise Baden, Badon (a medieval/Arthurian toponym), and phonetic Bayden. No standard diminutives are fixed. Overall meaning: “one associated with baths/spa springs” or “person from Baden.”
