Little fire
Aidrian is a variant spelling of the Gaelic name Aidan, which originated as a diminutive of Aodh, the name of the Celtic god of sun and fire. While the spelling with an 'i' is less common than Adrian or Aidan, it retains the same energetic etymological roots. It is often chosen by parents looking for a unique twist on a classic phonetic sound.
