The Middle Eastern, very old City, Region, Country of that name, used as a name.
Masculine from the female name of Ade, which is an alternate spelling of Ada or Adda, short for a number of names or as a name. Spelled interchangebly with Adin.

I like it spelt Aaden like on Jon and Kate Elus Eight. :)

Aden is my favorite spelling of Aiden. I just don't like names beginning with two vowels.
My grandfathers middle name was Aden spelt this way and he was born in 1909. I hardly think this is just a trendy and kreatyve way to spell Aidan.

This is a city in the Middle East. This is not a human name, and is the equivalent of naming your son "Dubai," "Tehran," or "Damascus." Also, -Aden names in general are extremely overused and the antithesis of creativity. Please don't use this as a name.
Actually, my above comment is mistaken (I'm sorry). This is actually a commonly-used male name in Somalia, and was borne by two Somali presidents. It can also be spelled "Aaden."
