What does the name Aydin mean?
Aydin is a spelling of Aiden, pronounced the same way, so it shares Aiden's meaning and origin.
Aiden is a spelling variant of Aidan, the English form of the Irish name Aodhán. Aodhán is a diminutive of Aodh, an old Irish name that means 'fire'; Aodh was also the name of a Celtic deity linked with the sun. The best-known early bearer is Saint Aidan, a 7th-century Irish monk who founded the monastery of Lindisfarne in northern England. The -en spelling is a modern American preference that rose with Aidan and with rhyming names such as Jayden and Brayden.
