Kadin

Kadin comes from a rich tapestry of meanings. In Arabic, it signifies 'companion' or 'friend', stemming from the word 'qā'id', which speaks to its warm and loyal character. On the Celtic side, Kadin is associated with 'battle', derived from 'cad', adding a layer of strength and valor. This dual heritage gives Kadin a unique blend of friendliness and toughness—qualities that many parents find appealing.

In terms of popularity, Kadin made quite a splash in the 1990s and 2000s. It first moved significantly up the charts between 1992 and 1993, leaping 3302 spots. It peaked at #499 in 2004, gaining a solid foothold in the Top 500. Over the years, its popularity has fluctuated, and as of 2024, it sits at #3149. Although it never broke into the top 100, Kadin had a respectable run, spending 12 years in the Top 1000.

Kadin carries a modern and strong vibe, making it well-suited for a little one who is both friendly and resilient. Its blend of loyalty and strength suggests a person who stands by friends, ready to face challenges head-on, embodying the best of both its Arabic and Celtic roots.
