Aidyn: 26 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 7 births in 2008.
Aidan's Gaelic root, *Aodhán*, means "little fire," and Aidyn is a modern, phonetic spelling of that ancient name. While no famous bearers go by this exact spelling, the original Aidan has been worn by Saint Aidan of Lindisfarne, a seventh-century missionary, and more recently by actor Aidan Turner. No places are directly named after an Aidyn, but the root "Aodh" appears in Irish place-names like Aughrim. This variant emerged in the late twentieth century alongside the broader popularity of Aiden and Hayden, reflecting a trend for distinctive spellings—making it a familiar yet individual choice for Scottish parents today.
