Meaning & Origin
A male given name from Hebrew of Biblical origin. Taken into regular use the 1990s, apparently seen as a variant of the more popular Jayden.
Jadon is a boy's and girl's baby name of Hebrew origin meaning 'thankful' or 'God has heard,' from the Hebrew root yadah. In the Bible, Jadon appears in Nehemiah as a man who helped repair the walls of Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile.
Jadon gained momentum in the 1990s alongside Jayden and Aiden as part of the wave of -don/-den ending names. It has a more biblical grounding than many of its sound-alike relatives, making it a strong choice for parents who want the popular flow with deeper roots.
