Jayden Name Meaning

All aboard the -ayden trend train is Jayden, a variant of Jadon, meaning “thankful one.” Once a Top 10 regular, Jayden has cooled in recent years, though he’s still plenty hot in use. With his vast number of alternative spellings like Jaden, Jaydon, and Jaiden, he’s more popular than the charts let on.

Other than being an -ayden trend darling, Jayden is modern and stylish, wearing well on any little boy. He’s the updated version of yesteryear’s Jason and Jordan, inspiring today’s parents with his familiar feel yet unique styling of an inner Y. He has the added bonus of being a surprise biblical name, as his original form Jadon appears in the Old Testament.

Jayden is an American trendsetter with this styling unique to the United States. He is used elsewhere though not nearly as common. This sets him apart from a lot of today’s top names that are used worldwide or borrowed from overseas like Oliver and Jack. This relative exclusivity may make him an attractive choice to those outside the U.S.

Jayden is no doubt adventurous, stepping outside the lines to forge his own path. He’s a bold twist on an old classic, reinvented and beloved. Similar names include Jade, Kaden, Jaxon.

AT FIRST I THOUGHT I COULD NOT GET PREGNANT AND WHEN I DID I WAS SO HAPPY.
PLUS I ALWAYS WANTED TO GET A CHILD WITH THE MAN THAT I LOVE THE MOST AND THAT WAS THE CASE .
JAYDEN`S PREGNANCY WAS THE BEST EXPERIENCE TO ME AND I WAS THANKFUL TO GOD FOR HIM

Firstly me and my husband we was looking simple name and which won’t be hard to the people to pronounce or to make wrong spelling, especially in my country Tanzania as we are Turkish & Tanzanian parents we wanted also the name to be international or English name which can be easy for both side…

Secondly: I have problems due to my tribe I can’t pronounce R & L so we was selecting name which I can be able to pronounce correctly would be so bad if I can’t pronounce my own babie Name so Jayden was perfect Name..

And last was the meaning of The name Jayden which means Thankfully person ?.

The name Jayden means thankful. I have Rh incompatibility and a gluten intolerance. I was anemic this pregnancy which I have never been before pregnant or not. I had ALOT of supplement to take this pregnancy to support baby and myself. A lot of prayer that went into asking God to make baby healthy and safe. At 36 weeks, I found out my amniotic fluid was very low and I would have to be induced because my placenta was failing. My dreams of another home birth were out but God truly saw us through! My midwife came to the hospital as my doula. I had a great doctor who has been in practice a very long time. It was as great of a natural experience as it could of been, being in the hospital. After my baby was born, we found out the membranes of my placenta were attached on the outside. The doctor said we had a miracle baby because babies with placentas like this don’t live. So, Jayden…thankful. He had absolutely no jaundice or anemia. Perfectly healthy baby. We serve a good God! His middle name is Elliott which means Jehovah is God.

Jayden was my 1st boy, and I was that mom who wanted a name that was uncommon. So back in 2011 the name Jayden wasnt as common as it is now. Therefore I picked his name and decided his middle name would be Micheal.

well to start with I didnt pick his name his father did see we had this deal if the baby was a girl I would name it and if it was a boy he would name it but we both agreed to name him Jayden cause nobody in either one of our families had the name Jayden and we wanted his name to be different then everyone else in our families and plus it also goes great with his middle name witch was given to him by his father also its a family name so we just keep it in the family. and later on I found out that his name also means strength which I love.
