From Wikipedia
In Pythagorean numerology, every letter has a value from 1 to 9. Adding the letters of Jayden yields these three numbers — a playful read on the name's character.
Jayden's fall is the sharpest in this batch: 5,134 births in 2024, 60% short of its count from ten years before, at #59 nationally — a long way down from its 2010 peak, when it briefly held #4.
The name's own history is short by comparison to most in this range, first appearing only in 1977 and gaining almost all of its volume within the following three decades.
No famous bearers appear in the enrichment data at all — a name that reached the near-top of the national chart within living memory, without a single documented namesake anywhere in its rise or fall.
