Cayden is a modern English spelling variant of Caden. It shares the same sound-driven background and should be treated as part of the same modern name family rather than as a separate old-rooted name.
The spelling grew with the popularity of other Caden-family and -den names. Its modern appeal lies in its polished look rather than a distinct historical origin of its own.
