Help baby to plant seeds of kindness by choosing the gender-neutral name Layden. Derived from the English Leighton, Layden is the latest moniker to take on the -ayden ending, adding a touch of modernity to this classic name. Layden may refer to the Leaton towns scattered across Shropshire, Bedfordshire, Huntingdon, and Cheshire in England. Ideal for a little gardener, Layden comes from the Old English leahtun, meaning "garden," where it draws additional meanings from leac, meaning "leek," and tūn, which refers to a "town” or “settlement." At least you won't have to worry about baby Layden being fussy with their veggies!
