Iddan is Hebrew in Origin.
Iddan is a Hebrew/Aramaic given name drawn from Biblical Aramaic ʿiddān (עִדָּן), meaning “time, season, appointed period,” a word that appears repeatedly in the Book of Daniel. In Modern Hebrew it aligns with עידן (Idan), “era” or “epoch,” and the doubled d preserves the Aramaic orthography and sound. The name thus carries a sense of timeliness, renewal, and unfolding seasons.
As a personal name, Iddan is a modern Israeli choice that emerged in the late twentieth century and remains uncommon outside Israel; it is used mostly for boys but can be unisex. Attested variants and related forms include Idan (the prevalent modern spelling), Idanit (a feminine elaboration), and occasional transliterations with a single d. Though reminiscent of Akkadian -iddin/-iddina (“has given”) in names like Marduk-iddin, that lineage is unrelated.
Iddan is about as rare as a name gets. In all, it appears just 18 times, across 8 countries.
