Aiken (boy)

I think of Liam Aiken when I hear it but I also know a boy with this name and when I heard of him, well..I melted! The sound of the name make me dance like a kangaroo (do they dance?).

Aiken is a Scottish surname derived from Ad, a short form of the name Adam + -kin, a diminutive ending. Many English and Scottish surnames have been created this way; -kin was one of the normal diminutive endings for names in the middle ages. Jenkins (John), Rankin (Randall), Hodgekin (Roger-- Hodge and Dodge were pet forms of Roger) etc.
