Aydin origin and meaning

Turkish Aydın, respelled; also used as an Aiden variant

Uncertain for American use — Aydin is the plain-letter spelling of Turkish Aydın, 'enlightened, clear, intellectual,' but in the U.S. it is also used simply as a variant of Aiden.

Two names hide in this spelling: the established Turkish name Aydın and a respelled Aiden from the Irish-name wave. American data, which peaked Aydin in 2008 alongside Aiden, suggests most U.S. use is the second — so no single origin is claimed.

Origin uncertain

Aydin is a 5 letter name with 2 syllables.
