Meaning & History
Short form of Ardinus. In some cases, the name can also be an elaboration of Ard, which itself is a short form of Arnoud (and other names containing the Germanic element aran or arn meaning "eagle") as well as of Eduard and Adriaan.With that said, you might also want to compare this name with Arduin, as they are quite similar in appearance.A known bearer of this name is Ardin Mourik (b. 1981), a Dutch theologian who is also active as a politician for the Dutch political party CDA (specifically, for its branch that is located in the province of Utrecht).
