Kaide

Boy name · 3 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Kaide: 3 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 3 births in 2011.

Kaide is a modern variant of Cade, a name with several possible roots—most often linked to the Old English *cada* meaning "round" or "lumpy," or to the Irish *cad*, meaning "battle." It may also have arisen as a surname from a place name. In recent decades, Kaide has gained visibility through young sports stars: footballer Kaide Gordon, who made his senior debut for Liverpool in 2021, and rugby league player Kaide Ellis. The name shares its sound with the Scottish surname Cadd, while Cade's Cove in Tennessee offers a scenic American place connection. Though not a traditional Scottish name, Kaide appears in Scotland's baby name records from the 2000s onward, often chosen as a fresh, short alternative to Kade or Cade, and blending smoothly with contemporary naming trends.
