Golden is an English nickname for someone with golden hair, from Middle English gelden, golden (from Old English gylden).

Gold and Golden are also among the surnames taken by central and eastern European Jews at the beginning of the 19th century.

Names based on the word "gold" in English or other languages, including names such as Gold, Golden, etc., are used by Jewish families with roots in central and eastern Europe because many words were used to almost randomly assign surnames to the Jews of that region during the later 18th and early 19th centuries.

On the other hand, similar names are also used by families who are not Jewish.

Yes Gold is a Jewish name, although some non Jews can have the name also.
