Origin & Meaning
AI-WrittenA modern variant linked distantly to the Gaelic surname Cadán, meaning battle, though its modern rise was driven primarily by phonetic patterns in the late twentieth century. It developed alongside the broader American appetite for two-syllable names ending in -den. The spelling first appeared in the national record in 1992.
