Haddin is in Origin.

Haddin is most plausibly a modern given name taken from the English and Scottish surname Hadden/Haddon, itself from place‑names such as Haddon (Derbyshire, Herefordshire) and Hadden (Roxburghshire). These derive from Old English hæð “heath, heather” + dūn “hill,” yielding the meaning “heath-covered hill.” As a given name, Haddin follows the surname-as-first-name pattern and carries a grounded, landscape-based sense of place.

Usage appears sporadically from the 19th century onward in Britain and North America, remaining rare. Common variants and cognates include Hadden, Haddon, and Haden; spellings like Haddan or Haddin are modern respellings. The name is sometimes associated by sound with the Old Norse legendary figure Haddingr (Hadding), adding a faint literary-Norse echo, though the origins differ. In Arabic contexts, the near-homophone Hadi/Hadin (“guide; calm”) is noted, but it represents a separate etymology.
