ArchivesGOLDEN
I don't see the name GOLDEN listed on this site.
I have come across three members of a family with the name, all from the Essex area. I did a search in the various censuses on Ancestry and there do seem to be quite a few occurrences of the name and there does seem more in that area.
1891 England Census 193
1901 England Census 180
1881 England Census 157
1871 England Census 139
1861 England Census 116

Unfortunately with the millions of names that are in existance world wide it is virtually impossible for any one site to list every name every used
Golden is in use both as a first name and a surname
see
http://www.ancestry.com/search/SurnamePage.aspx?sourcecode=13304
enter Golden in the search box
The meanings they list for the surname are
English: nickname for someone with golden hair, from Middle English gelden, golden (from Old English gylden).
Irish: reduced Anglicized form of Gaelic Mag Ualghairg (see McGoldrick).
Though I would think the meaning for first name of Golden would most likely be the English one
A childs smile is worth more to me than Gold
