Girl name · 9 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Kaydence: 9 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 6 births in 2007.
Kaydence is a modern invented name, following the popular trend of substituting a 'K' for the initial 'C' in Cadence. The name Cadence itself comes from the Latin word *cadentia*, meaning "a falling," specifically in the musical sense of a rhythmic flow or sequence of notes. This gives Kaydence a melodic, contemporary feel, evoking rhythm and harmony. The name has no famous historical bearers, as it only rose to prominence in English-speaking countries in the early 2000s. While it lacks direct place-name connections, its sound is reminiscent of names like Camden and Cadogan. Kaydence is one of many trendy, phonetically-spelled names that emerged alongside Kaitlyn, Kaylee, and Kinsley, appealing to parents who value a name that feels both creative and personal.
