Can you help me with meaning of Jaden?
| Mon, 07-11-2005 - 3:24pm |
In all of the name books and internet name sites, it says that Jaden is American version of Jadon which means God has heard. But I actually can't find this meaning in any Hebrew book or dictionary. The only thing I find is it says it is the name of a man who helped build the walls of Jerusalem. Does anyone know any sites that actually can confirm this or is it just a man made meaning they attached to this name.

I went to www.behindthename.com and found Jadon there. It says this:
JADON
Gender: Masculine
Usage: Biblical
Pronounced: JAY-dun
Extra Info: Popularity, Related Names, Namesakes

Means "thankful" in Hebrew. This name is borne by a minor character in the Old Testament.
The names Jaden, Jadyn, Jaiden, Jayden & Jaydon are realted to Jadon accoding to the same site.
I hope that helped!
I actually called a Rabbi about this today. He translated the name as "God will Judge" as Ja (actually YA means God and don means judged) so I have no idea why all name books say God will hear. The name for God will hear is Ishmael.
Thanks for that web site. I really like it!
