This is a nice name for a boy. I like this spelling the best.

There is a Yadon in the bible but it doesn't mean 'thankful' whatsoever! Wrong information source.

_The Complete Book of Hebrew Baby Names_ by Smadar Shir Sidi and _Who's Who in the Old Testament_ by Joan Comay both say that Jadon or Yadon means "he will judge".
It's the other way around. Jayden and the like are kry8iv spellings of this name, or simply people slamming popular sounds together to create a sort of etymological Frankenstein's monster.
I just had a son. Of the ten babies in the maternity ward, three were named Jaden in one spelling or another. Two were boys, one was a girl. Please reconsider naming your child this. You aren't naming a baby, you're naming a future adult. As other reviewers have noted, this (and all the similar -aden names) lack class and sound generic. This name isn't just bland, it's banal.

This name has NOTHING to do with Jaden/Jayden/Jaiden etc. It has a different origin and I'm fairly sure it's pronounced differently than Jayden as well. This is a Biblical name, used in the Old Testament, specifically in Nehemiah 3:7, where Jadon joins Melatiah in making repairs to the Jeshanah Gate. Maybe Melatiah would make a good name?
