Beauden
Boy name · 48 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Beauden: 48 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 11 births in 2023.
Beauden is a modern invented name, blending the French word "beau," meaning handsome or beautiful, with the popular -den suffix found in names like Aiden and Jayden. Its rise in use reflects contemporary naming trends, particularly in New Zealand and Australia, where it is most famously borne by Beauden Barrett, the two-time World Rugby Player of the Year who led the All Blacks at fly-half. The "beau" element shares its etymological root—Latin "bellus"—with place names such as Beaufort and Beaumont, found across Scotland and France. While not traditional, Beauden also echoes the Old English name Boden, meaning "sheltered" or "herald," offering a subtle historical link. In Scotland, it has appeared occasionally since the 2010s, appealing to parents drawn to its polished, stylish sound.
