Aydan


Aydan is a Guanche and Irish male name or Turkish and Azerbaijani feminine given name and surname.
The Irish male name is derived from the name Aodhán, which is a pet form of Aodh. The personal name Aodh means "fiery" and/or "bringer of fire" and was the name of a Celtic sun god.
Formerly common only in Ireland and Scotland, the name and its variants have become popular in England, the United States, and Canada.

"Aidan/Aiden" was the most popular boys' name in Canada in 2007.
The Guanche male name can be roughly translated as "he who lives underwater".
The Turkish and Azerbaijani feminine given name literally means "from the moon". Figuratively, it means made of the moon or the one that comes from the moon.
