The name Syden is of English origin and means "from the wide valley". It is believed to have been derived from an Old English personal name Sidon, which was in turn taken from a place name in Phoenicia, now known as Sidon in Lebanon. The name Syden has a long history dating back to medieval times when it was used as a surname and later became popular as a given name during the Victorian era in England. Despite its English origins, the name Syden is relatively rare and unique today, making it an attractive choice for parents looking for a distinctive name for their child.
Syden is a rare but notable name in the United States, with only seven babies given this name each year on average between 2012 and 2021. Despite its low frequency of use, Syden has maintained a consistent presence in the U.S. baby naming landscape over the past decade.
