“Little fire”

Aidan — Anglicized form of Aodhán. In the latter part of the 20th century it became popular in America due to its sound, since it uses the same fashionable aden suffix sound found in such names as Braden and Hayden.

Saintly namesake: Aidan of Lindisfarne was an Irish monk and missionary bishop, known for spreading Christianity in northern England and founding the monastery at Lindisfarne. (August 31 · 7th century)
