- Meanings and history of the name Kaden
15 years ago saw this in a name book. At the time Caden was said to be Irish and meant little warrior, or Kaden of arabic origin meaning friend. I recently saw it in a book as American meaning, exciting. Now I'm really wondering what is the true origin.

You can rustle up an Irish origin for Caden, but this name's popularity is about pure sound. You simply cannot get a more fashionable set of phonemes, and the nickname Cade is a winner too. But an entire classroom of rhyming boys is a real risk here. Caden, meet Hayden, Aidan, Jadon, and Braeden.... Each name has multiple spellings in the top 1000 list.
