Xayden is a modern American variant of Zayden that swaps the Z for the eye-catching X of Xavier and Xander. It is built on the -ayden pattern of Aiden, whose Irish root Aodhán means "little fire", and has no older meaning of its own. Xayden ranked number 2485 in 2015, hovered around number 2200 for most of the decade and reaches number 1975 in 2025, its best rank so far.
