Wikidata records this spelling as a given name in Italian and West Frisian. That is where the name is used, not necessarily where it comes from.
Rare spellings summarised here: Idan (575), Edina (514), Iden (476), Eduin (377), Edon (224), Eaden (184), Edynn (182), Edden (50), Eudene (19), Eydeen (13), Edian (12), Eudean (10), and more.
Numbers are all-time US births. Links come from Wikidata’s “said to be the same as” (P460, CC0) and our spelling rule: at most two letters different, with the same sound pattern.
