I never heard of the name Dressden. It can be for a boy or girl and I'm African American. I met a female and her name was Dressden. I said if I have another child I would name him or her Dressden. So that why I'm tring to find out the meaning behind the name.

Thanks,

Traci

[...Etwa zur gleichen Zeit siedelten sich im Elbtal der aus Böhmen stammende Stamm der Nisani an und gründeten links der Elbe das Dorf Drezdany, was Sumpf- oder Auenlandbewohner bedeutet....]

the above text is taken from the following website:
http://dresden.up2city.de/stadtgeschichte/

Freely translated, the city Dresden (Drezdany in history), was stated by the Nisani (people from Bohemia) in the Elbe river valley. Drezdany means 'people living in the swamps (or 'wetlands')'. So, i don't know where you have your meaning from, but it must be a made-up try. Dress is indeed 'clothes', but in this case unrelated.

Dresden is also an expensive brand of porcelain from Dresden Germany.
As a first name, I have seen it used in the US, pretty much as a nouveau-riche alternative to Tiffany.
