ArchivesThe name Caden
Caden has become a very popular name. When I named my son I thought that it would not be so common. But that has changed, I really love his name Caden Jacob, and it says the meaning is fighter, and that describes my son perfectly.

Actually Caden seems to be a rare Scottish surname from MacAdáin, "son of Adam". Though I personally think it was probably more an expansion of "Cade" for most parents; I've had several parents of boys named Caden or Kaden the last few years tell me they invented it on their own.

I guess you mean the Irish Cathan then?
Cathan means "battle" according to BtN.
But I've also read that there is an Arabic name Kadin, don't know if this is correct. But it seems more probable that Caden (or Kaden) is derived from the Irish name.
