Origin
Meaning and history of Jadereon
The given name Jadereon has its origins in the ancient Sumerian language, one of the earliest known written languages dating back to around 3500 BC. It is believed to have originated in the region of Mesopotamia, which is now modern-day Iraq. The name Jadereon is derived from the Sumerian words "ja" meaning "moon" and "dereon" meaning "protector" or "guardian."
In ancient Sumerian mythology, the moon was revered as a celestial deity, and Jadereon was likely a name given to those born under certain lunar phases or to individuals who held positions related to moon worship or astrology. The earliest known reference to the name Jadereon appears in a cuneiform tablet from the city of Ur, dated around 2500 BC, which lists the names of various temple personnel.
One of the earliest recorded individuals with the name Jadereon was a high priestess of the moon goddess Nanna in the city of Ur, who lived around 2300 BC. Another notable figure was Jadereon of Lagash, a prominent astronomer and mathematician who made significant contributions to the study of lunar cycles and eclipses in the 21st century BC.
During the Babylonian period, around 1800 BC, the name Jadereon was associated with a famous poet and playwright whose works were widely celebrated for their lyrical depictions of the moon's influence on love and human emotions.
In the 6th century BC, a Persian scholar named Jadereon authored several influential texts on astrology and the interpretation of celestial omens, which were widely studied throughout the ancient world.
Another historically significant individual with the name Jadereon was a renowned architect from the city of Babylon, who oversaw the construction of the famous Ishtar Gate and the Processional Way during the reign of King Nebuchadnezzar II in the 6th century BC.
While the name Jadereon fell out of widespread use after the decline of ancient Mesopotamian civilizations, it has occasionally resurfaced throughout history, though specific individuals bearing this name are scarce in historical records.

FAQ
Jadereon: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Jadereon?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 5 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Jadereon going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 68,550,868 US residents.
Is Jadereon a common name?
We classify Jadereon as "Very Rare". It ranks above 18.2% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 5 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Jadereon most popular?
The single biggest year for Jadereon was 2009, when 5 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Jadereon is about 17 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Jadereon in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Jadereon a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Jadereon in the SSA data are male. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Jadereon still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Jadereon in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Jadereon can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
