News flash to this author: “Jayden” is a Hebrew name (it means “The LORD has heard”). Also Biblical, since it comes from Jadon the Meronothite mentioned in Nehemiah 3:7. The only thing that makes certain people think it suddenly a “black name” is that Will Smith’s son is named Jaden.

Most of the genuinely traditional black American names are biblical in origin. AFAIK it goes back to the days of slavery when many blacks discovered salvation in Jesus (which BTW is why most "black" church services are a huge party).
