What does Eidan mean?
Eidan means “Meaning depends on the intended name connection”.
Eidan is a spelling that can point toward more than one established name. When intended as a version of Irish Aidan, it connects with Aodh and the idea of fire. When chosen alongside Hebrew Eitan, it may instead reflect strength or endurance. Those are different name families, so neither meaning automatically belongs to every child named Eidan.
The spelling's opening vowels may lead readers to different pronunciations, making the family's preferred sound especially useful to establish early. Parents who want the Irish history to be unmistakable could compare Aidan; those emphasizing the Hebrew connection could compare Eitan or Ethan. Eidan offers a less familiar written form, with the trade-off that its intended cultural story may need a brief explanation.
