The name Zaden is of English origin and is predominantly used for males. Its meaning is currently unknown or unconfirmed. However, historical sources mention Zaden as a deity in the pre-Christian pantheon of ancient Georgians, particularly as the god of fruitfulness. King Parnajom of Iberia is said to have built a fortress at Mount Zedazeni to house the colossus of Zadeni. Although contemporary records and archaeological evidence about this cult are lacking, modern scholars have surmised that Zaden may have been a Georgian version of the Luwian Santas or the Hittite Sandon, with potential ties to the Yazata of Zoroastrianism. The legacy of this name extends to the southern hemisphere of the dwarf planet Ceres, where a crater was named after this deity.
