In the dictionaries
We haven't confirmed a dictionary meaning for the name itself. The meaning above is how families commonly use it.
Jayden is a modern American name that spread in the 1990s. It is generally explained as a blend of the friendly "Jay" sound with the -den ending of names such as Aiden and Hayden, so it has no dictionary meaning of its own. Some families link it to the biblical Jadon, a man from Meronoth who helped repair Jerusalem's walls in Nehemiah 3:7; Strong's Concordance (H3036) explains Yādôn as "thankful", from the verb "to give thanks", though other scholars call it uncertain. Name lists give "thankful" or "God has heard". The sound is easy for Indian families, and many spellings are in use.
