Kaedence is the Celtic spelling of [name]Cadence[/name], which means rhythm/rhythmic or to march.
Our daughter, Kaedence [name]Lynn[/name] was born in [name]October[/name] 2012. I’ve had that name picked out for 25 years, but kept it secret because I was worried about negative opinions. So far everyone has loved the name!
Other variants are [name]Cadence[/name], Caedence, [name]Caydence[/name], Caidence, [name]Kadence[/name], [name]Kaydence[/name], Kaidence, [name]Kaedence[/name]
There is a thread called “What have we missed?” (not sure where it is though - sorry) upon which you can add the name you want added to the database, and P@m and [name]Lind[/name]@ will add it as soon as they have enough information/time. [name]Hope[/name] this helps a bit!
I think if we write [name]Pam[/name]'s name here she might check up on this thread. You could also send her an email. Congratulations on your little Kaedence [name]Lynn[/name]! Her name has a very pretty sound to it. You forgot to mention the Italian variant of the name that happens to be my personal favorite variant: [name]Cadenza[/name]. It’s so fun to say aloud!
I don’t know where you found your information but it’s erroneous. Celtic names are usually spelled with a “C” so Kaedence isn’t Celtic at all. Anyway, congrats to you on the safe arrival of your daughter.
Yes, no “Ks” in the six celtic languages…also, the way they pronounce diphthongs is different than in English, so “ae” together would make and “EYE” sound. To get a long “A” as in [name]Cadence[/name], you would use an “au”.
In other words, you got some bad information about the spelling of [name]Cadence[/name]. But the name sounds very pretty, congrats on your daughter.
Being a physician does not mean you know squat about onomastics, anthroponymy or etymology - or language in general. I’m sorry you are offended, but K’s don’t exist there. In the Irish Gaelic alphabet, there are no K, X, Y, Z, W, Q or V. Celtic is an umbrella term used to cover Welsh, Manx, Irish, [name]Breton[/name], Cornish, and Scottish Gaelic. (and a few smaller languages). There [name]MAY[/name] be a K in Cornish, but I am not an linguistics expert, this information is based on the almost decade I have spent studying names.
Again, it wasn’t to offend you, but the information you have been given is wrong. [name]Cadence[/name] is a word, the Irish equivalent to “cadence” would not be Kaedence, the word cadence isn’t used, there would be an equivalent or a word with the same meaning as cadence, but certainly not kaedence.
I thought so because [name]Kerensa[/name] is one of my all time favorites and I kept thinking to myself “Cerensa doesn’t seem right at all”…I know basically nothing about Cornish. >_<
It would be a totally different word, right? Like I’m sure “chair” is not “chair” in Cornish, that kind of thing, it just seems a little like common sense to me. >_>
Kaedence is Irish/Gaelic, which is why “Celtic” is used, also Kirkpatrick is Scottish/Irish. I will be very happy to give you all of the information about both names once he gets home.
Kirkpatrick is not of Irish origin. Period. Yes, some Kirkpatricks relocated to [name]Ireland[/name] but that does not make the surname “Irish”.
ETA: It’s the same as some of my ancestors with the last name of [name]Parker[/name]. They moved to [name]Ireland[/name] but their last name is still of English origin.
You forgot to mention the Italian variant of the name that happens to be my personal favorite variant: [name]Cadenza[/name]. It’s so fun to say aloud!
