Meaning & Origin
a female given name
Aydan is a boy's and girl's baby name of Turkish origin, from the Turkish ay ('moon') and dan ('from'), meaning 'from the moon' or 'moonlike.' It is a popular name in Turkey and Azerbaijan, and has been growing in the US as a distinctive alternative to Aidan.
Aydan has the same appealing sound as Aidan/Ayden but with a genuine Turkish etymology that gives it a distinct identity. The moon connection adds a celestial quality — a name that looks up at the night sky and finds its identity there.
