English roots
Jaden is the original spelling chosen by Will and Jada Pinkett Smith for their son in 1998. Jaden Smith co-starred with his father in The Pursuit of Happyness (2006) and became a fashion and cultural provocateur. The Jayden spelling (with Y) overtook Jaden in popularity, but this is the original. Both spellings may connect to the Hebrew Jadon meaning thankful.
