Caben is a modern Scottish name, likely a variant of Caden or Kaden, which themselves derive from the Gaelic surname Mac Cadáin, meaning "son of Cadán." Cadán itself is an old Irish name thought to mean "little battle" or "warrior." While Caben has no widely famous bearers to date, the related name Caden has gained popularity across the English-speaking world. There is no major place directly tied to Caben, though the root Cadán appears in Irish place names like Ballycadden. A notable point is that Caben fits neatly into the trend of Scottish names ending in "-en" or "-an," such as Aiden or Ewan, giving it a contemporary feel while still rooted in Celtic tradition. As a rarer variant, it offers a distinctive choice for parents seeking a name with a subtle nod to Scottish heritage.
