Aiden

Aiden is of Irish origins and is an anglicized spelling of the Gaelic name Áedán, which is derived from the name Aodhán. Aodhan is a diminutive of Áed, which means ‘fire’ and thus the meaning of Aiden can be summarised as ‘little fire’. Irish mythology also speaks about Aed, who was the Lord of the Underworld and the God of Fire as well. He was also the prince of all of the supernatural beings, known as the Daoine Sidhe. There are also a number of Irish saints and rulers of Ireland who have been named Aodhán. Saint Aiden of Lindisfarne, also known as the Apostle of Northumbria, is another known Aiden. He is known for converting the Anglo-Saxons settlers of Northumbria to Christianity. He also served as the first bishop at the cathedral built on the Lindisfarne island. Popular American actors Aidan Gould and Aidan Gallagher, Irish actors Aiden Turner and Aiden Gillen and musician Aidan Alexander are some of the popular personalities who bear the name.
