Modern coined name; no fixed literal meaning established in this account.
The reviewed English entry documents a late-twentieth-century coinage patterned on initial J and contemporary name sounds. This is a formation, not a literal translation. Its listed Jadon spelling relationship does not establish the same Biblical etymology for every Jayden; heard-by-God is not adopted as a universal gloss.
Origin
Modern English-language coinage in American use.
The reviewed entry describes a late-twentieth-century unisex coinage patterned on fashionable name sounds. This account does not establish a universal heard-by-God literal meaning.
