From Wikipedia
Halk arasındaki yaygın efsanelerde, yerleşim yerinin adının geçmişte yapılan bir savaşta düşmanı yanıltmak amacıyla dikilen taşlardan ötürü "Taşdiken" veya "Daş-diken" kökeninden geldiği rivayet edilmektedir. Öte yandan, basılı bazı yerel köşe yazılarında ve popüler anlatılarda kelimenin Türkçe "deşmek" (kazmak, eşelemek) eyleminden türediğine dair yakıştırmalara da yer verilmiştir.
