Beauden is a modern coinage that extends Beau, French for "handsome", with the -den ending of Hayden and Braden. It is best known from New Zealand rugby star Beauden Barrett, and it fits the recent American taste for names like Bodhi and Bowen. Beauden rose from number 6034 in 2015 to number 1677 in 2025, its best rank so far, with 98 boys.
