How to Say “Aidan” in German

By Patricia Kristen • Updated October 4, 2026

Aidan

Aidan is a German male given name.

Aidan is used as a masculine given name.

Meaning: male given name (name)

Did you know?

While Aidan is used in Germany, it is an imported name from the Gaelic Aodhán, meaning 'little fire'.
The pronunciation of the 'ai' in Aidan might be adapted by German speakers to sound more like the German diphthong 'ai' in 'Hai' (shark), potentially changing the vowel sound.
Because German has no native equivalent for Aidan, parents who want a traditional German name with a similar 'fire' meaning might choose Ignaz.

Examples in context

Mein Bruder heißt Aidan.
My brother's name is Aidan.
Ist Aidan heute hier?
Is Aidan here today?
Ich habe Aidan gestern angerufen.
I called Aidan yesterday.
