Sheriden is Irish in Origin.
Sheriden is a modern respelling of Sheridan, an Irish surname-turned-given name derived from the Irish Gaelic O Sirideain, meaning "descendant of Siridean." The personal name Siridean comes from sireadh, "to search," yielding the sense "seeker" or "searcher." As with many Anglicized Irish surnames, Sheridan moved into first-name use in English-speaking countries, and Sheriden follows as a phonetic variant.
Usage as a given name appears from the late 19th century, boosted by the fame of playwright Richard Brinsley Sheridan and U.S. Civil War general Philip Sheridan; in the late 20th century it gained unisex appeal, with bearers such as actress Sheridan Smith cementing familiarity. Variant forms include Sheridan, Sheridon, Sheredan, Sherridan, and Sherydan; nicknames range from Sheri/Sherry to Dan/Danny. Sheriden retains the same Irish roots and seeker imagery while offering a distinctive, streamlined spelling.
