ORIGIN & HISTORY

About the name

Fire (inherited from Aidan/Aodhán, an Old Irish diminutive of Aodh, 'fire'). Because Eiden is documented only as a phonetic respelling of Aidan/Aiden with essentially no independent history, claims about deeper meaning or historical/religious background belong to the parent name Aidan rather than to this specific spelling, and should not be read as Eiden's own attested history.

Aodhán (Old Irish, the ultimate source via Aidan).
